Buena Vista Gondola Ride

Buena Vista is a small out of the way mountain top town in the south part of Quindio department. There was an effort a while back to build a Gondola to take people on rides from one mountain top to another. Looked like a beautifully breath taking ride to me. We went there last weekend with my wife's parents and the entire Gondola area is essentially deserted. The equipment all looks in good shape, but when we asked the locals what they knew...they knew nothing about if and when it will become operable.

Does anyone in here have any idea if this thing is ever going to work or not or what happened to the project? By looking at the structure, it is clear that someone put some big bucks into this event.
