Mérida 2026: Between Snowy Villages and Misty Villages.

​Mérida is not just a city; it's the place where Venezuela touches the sky. Known as the 'City of Knights', it offers a fascinating contrast with the Caribbean heat, giving visitors a breath of pure air, deep green landscapes, and the warmth of its people.

​What makes Mérida an unmissable destination?

• ​Mukumbarí Cable Car: It's not just a ride, it's an engineering feat. With 5 stations that take you from the valley up to 4,765 meters above sea level at Pico Espejo, it is the world's highest and longest cable car. Watching the sunrise from the heights is an experience that stays with you forever.

• ​The Magic of the Páramo: Traveling the trans-Andean road is like entering another world. Towns such as Mucuchíes, San Rafael de Tabay and Apartaderos seem frozen in time, with their tile-roofed houses, stone walls, and the constant scent of burning firewood.

• ​Laguna de Mucubají: Located in Sierra Nevada National Park, this glacial-origin lagoon is the starting point for hikes to Laguna Negra or horseback rides that connect you directly with the mountain's silence.

• ​Home‑style Cuisine: In Mérida, food embraces you. You can't leave without trying the authentic Pizca Andina (a soup made from milk, potato and cilantro), freshly made wheat arepas, rainbow trout, and, of course, the famous glazed sweets.
