Los Nevados is a picturesque village situated high in the Andes (at 2750 metres). The setting is beautiful with high mountains around. The houses are whitewashed and there is also a small church with a very small Plaza Bolívar in front of it. The village is 400 years old and there are just over 100 inhabitants. On the farmland surrounding the village wheat, potatoes, beans and garlic is cultivated.
Los Nevados is situated within the National Park of Sierra Nevada. Because the village is situated on high altitude it can be very cold. The average temperature is 8 - 15°C.
From Mérida Los Nevados can be reached by four wheel drive vehicles on a mountain road, or by taking the cable car up to the 4th station (Loma Redonda) and from there ride a mule or walk for several hours. I visited on a tour arranged from Mérida. |

The trek sounds great and Pedro's cool...or should I say cold. ;) Never gave Venezuela much thought but it seems more to it than just the falls. Thanks. | Bwana_Brown Wed May 27, 2009 19:21 UTC
Malena, congratulations on successfully completing another of your amazing adventures despite being cold, wet and sick! Beautiful pics in your T'logues too. I just wish you had put up more tips so I could give this page all the 5-star ratings it deserves! | SLLiew Mon May 18, 2009 23:39 UTC
Interesting fortune telling from raw egg in glass. I guess if you can tell the future from tea leaves in Harry Porter, anything goes :) | yumyum Mon May 18, 2009 18:44 UTC
What an adorable village! Very interesting tips about the egg custom and Pedro and the tea against cough. |
