Fortunately the altitude didn't hit me because I arrived a day earlier to the city of Merida which is at 1,630 m and I guess I acclimatized a little hehe, and the day I went to the cable car, as the ascent is gradual, spending some time at each station, I guess that's why the altitude affects less.
Having access to places like this for free is one of the best things about being a journalist hahaha, thanks so much for appreciating my post!
