Mérida and the Sierra Nevada

+ Add a Photo

V!VA User‘s Description

The Sierra Nevada de Mérida is the only Venezuelan range with permanent layers of snow on the higher peaks, including Venezuela’s highest, Pico Bolívar at 5,007 m (16,427 ft). This area features excellent hiking, mountain climbing and mountain biking among other activities and is also home to several delightful rural villages. The drive from Mérida to Apartaderos within the paramo, the barren zone above the tree line, is well worth a day trip with fantastic lookout points, local restaurants and crafts shops along the way.
