View from the vicinity of the Metrocable station La Aurora across the Aburrá Valley in SE direction. Much of the neighbourhood in the foreground has developed since the beginning of the 21st Century. At that time, the Olaya Herrera Airport seen in the centre of the scene had already lost much of its importance to the new international airport opened in 1985, but still serves many domestic flights. The upper-class neighbourhood of El Poblado appears in the left background of the image.
