Medellin, Colombia - The daily life in the barrio Santo Domingo where the Metrocable is going to. The Gondola Revolution began ten years ago in the impoverished barrio of Santo Domingo in Medellin, Colombia. Since the early 1980s Medellin had been the headquarters and stomping ground of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel. Desperate to expand his empire, Escobar waged virtual war upon the Colombian and Medellin governments. What officials and officers he couldn’t bribe, he assassinated. Bombings of public buildings and cars became a constant fact of life. After Escobar was apprehended and killed by United States troops in 1993, Medellin’s narcotics industry separated into several factions vying for turf and market share. Medellin now had several less powerful, but no-less-lethal enemies warring with each other and the city at large.Metrocable , a gondola lift system implemented by the City Council of Medellín, Colombia with the purpose of providing a complementary transportation service to that of Medellín's Metro. It was designed to reach some of the least developed suburban areas of Medellín. and is largely considered to be the first Cable Propelled Transit system in South America. The initial conception of this system was indirectly inspired by the Caracas Aerial Tramway (also known as the Mount Avila Gondola) which was designed primarily to carry passengers to a luxury hotel.
