Panoramic view from the Metrocable station Trece de Noviembre across the Aburrá Valley in W direction. The residential neighbourhood of Trece de Noviembre expands in the foreground of the photo. Downtown Medellín (La Candelaria) appears in the upper centre of the scene, in front of Cerro Nutibara (left side) and Cerro El Volador (right side). Due to its mild climate all year round, Medellín is known as the city of eternal spring whereas Bogotá, located at higher elevation, is just called the "fridge".
