The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) announced the viability of the Huascarán Cable Car tourism project, following the completion of technical studies by its Project Formulation Sub-Directorate, in the Áncash region of Peru.

This milestone enables the project to move into the promotion stage, which seeks to attract private sector investment. The feasibility study was conducted by the Investment Project Formulation Sub-Directorate and was completed in under four months. These technical studies included a preliminary evaluation of tourism supply and demand, engineering requirements, environmental and social impacts, and the municipality’s commitment to maintaining the project’s financial sustainability. The Huascarán Cable Car project represents an investment of approximately USD 95 million and will include a modern cable transport system that will reduce access time to high mountain areas to just seven minutes, with the capacity to serve up to 200 people per hour. The project will be complemented by tourist services, marked trails, and visitor centers, enhancing the experience without impacting the natural environment.

The project involves the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of a modern cable car system that will provide safe and efficient access to high-altitude tourist areas near Huascarán National Park. Promoted by PROINVERSIÓN, the project includes the installation of cable transport infrastructure, passenger stations, visitor service facilities, and complementary tourism services.
