Merida

I love to visit Merida because you can feel the warm weather in the town and the cold weather at the top of the mountains. Here is a picture at the top of the mountain.


Merida is the capital of Merida State located in Venezuela, at the foot of the Andes, only fifteen kilometers from Venezuela’s highest point. It is the centre for outdoor activities in Venezuela. The climate in Merida city is between 19 °C and  20 °C, temperatures between 5 °C and 9 °C at El Bolivar Peak, or below zero when it snows and 28 °C in the El Vigia area. Merida’s cable car ride is the highest (4,765 m above sea level) and longest (12.5 km) in the world. Its path goes straight through the Sierra Nevada National Park, located in the Andes mountain range, linking the city of Merida with the Pico Espejo (Espejo Peak).
