(2d / 1n, extendable)

A classical Trip that combines the cable car, paramo and xerofite vegetation with one of the most beautiful villages in the venezuelan andes. Hiking and a 4 wheel drive on a breathtaking back country road but it is possible to ride on mule back down the 15 kilometers to Los Nevados if you wish. The "El Alto de la Cruz " pass is just below 4200 meters but will certainly make you feel the altitude.

To add a little spice to it you could mountain bike back down to Merida the following day. It requires good physical conditions and legs of steel. If you think you are not up to it you will experience one of the andean roller coaster roads by 4 wheel drive.

2 very enjoyable days combining the famous Teleferico of Merida, the charming farmer village of Los Nevados and a spectacular and breathtaking 4 wheel drive through the Andes.
