Let
me
paint
you
a
picture
of
this
extraordinary
journey
in
the
cable
car
–
a
place
where
magic
and
beauty
collide.
But
first,
let's
talk
business.
For
the
foreign
wanderers
among
us,
a
round
trip
will
cost
you
a
modest
ten
greenbacks
–
not
too
shabby,
right?
But
hold
your
horses;
if
you're
one
of
the
lucky
local
residents,
you
get
a
sweet
deal
–
half
the
price!
Just
make
sure
to
bring
your
trusty
Visa
or
Mastercard;
sorry,
American
Express
won't
cut
it
here.
Now,
here's
where
things
get
a
little
tricky.
I
know
some
of
you
are
itching
to
capture
the
breathtaking
vistas
with
your
beloved
drones.
Unfortunately,
no
drones
allowed
on
the
regular,
my
friends.
But
hey,
don't
despair
just
yet!
If
you
plan
ahead
and
apply
for
permission
two
days
before
your
flight,
you
might
get
the
green
light.
No
same-day
approvals,
though
–
it
takes
a
couple
of
days
for
the
bureaucratic
wheels
to
turn.
Head
to
the
information
desk
and
seek
out
the
drone
permit
maestro
who
will
guide
you
through
the
process.
Trust
me;
the
effort
is
worth
it!
Let
me
tell
you
about
this
gem
of
an
experience
up
on
those
Puerto
Plata
mountains
–
but
there's
a
catch.
Mother
Nature
can
be
a
bit
moody
up
there,
so
choose
your
day
wisely.
Clear,
beautiful
weather
is
your
key
to
unlocking
the
full
splendor
of
the
view
and
snapping
some
insta-worthy
photos.
But
be
warned,
the
wind
can
be
quite
the
wild
beast
in
these
lofty
heights.
Keep
a
tight
grip
on
your
hats
and
any
valuables;
you
don't
want
them
flying
off
into
oblivion.
Now,
let's
talk
about
those
friendly
faces
you'll
meet.
They're
scattered
around
the
vicinity
of
the
statue
–
oh,
yes,
there's
a
stunning
statue
up
there
–
ready
and
willing
to
lend
a
hand
with
your
perfect
photo
op.
Trust
me
when
I
say,
they've
got
some
real
talent!
So,
show
them
some
love
with
a
well-deserved
tip.
I
caught
them
in
action,
spreading
joy
with
hilarious
photoshoots
for
different
groups,
these
guys
are
professionals.
Alright,
let's
get
down
to
brass
tacks
about
timing.
You'll
need
to
budget
around
an
hour
for
ticket
buying,
lining
up
for
the
cable
car,
and
the
ride
itself.
Time
management
is
key
here.
The
last
cable
car
makes
its
descent
from
the
mountain
at
5:30
pm,
and
you
don't
want
to
miss
it.
Getting
stuck
up
there
when
the
cable
car
shuts
down
is
no
joke.
You'll
be
faced
with
two
choices
–
paying
a
king's
ransom
for
a
taxi
back
or
embarking
on
a
3-hour
mountain
descent
on
foot.
Trust
me,
you'd
better
keep
that
return
plan
in
check!
Last
but
not
least,
pack
some
essentials
for
your
mountain
adventure.
A
trusty
water
bottle
and
some
munchies
will
be
your
faithful
companions
while
waiting
in
those
lines.
Puerto
Plata's
mountain
escapade
is
an
absolute
must-do,
but
plan
smart,
fly
wise,
and
make
memories
that'll
last
a
lifetime.
Bon
voyage
and
bon
appétit!
