June 22, 2017. Chiatura, Georgia. This is a view of Chiatura from a cable car. Chiatura is a city in the Imereti region of Western Georgia. After other intense explorations it was discovered that there are several layers of commercially exploitable manganese oxide, peroxide and carbonate in Chiatura. Due to the steep sided river valley, production workers spent a large amount of time walking up from the town to the mines. Hence, In 1954 an extensive cable car system was installed to transport workers around the valley and up to the mines. Still utilizing the same infrastructure installed originally in the 1950s, today some 17 separate aerial lift cable car systems still exist around the town. Chiatura is now a popular hipster destination, for travellers who want a haunting soviet industrial experience.
