The project would be written by road engineer José Ochoa, after carrying out different studies in Switzerland, the Austrian Tyrol and Germany. After many years of management at the highest level and modifications of the initial project, the Cable Company to Pico Teide, created on October 15, 1959 for the operation of a cable car service, manages to exchange with the City Council of La Orotava the necessary land for construction in exchange for a school already built in Aguamansa and some 800 m² of land.1 Works began in 1965, opening in 1971.
