Mérida
No visit to Mérida is complete without the nearly seven mile trip on the cable car to the top of Pico Espejo, so named for the mica at the summit which reflects like a mirror. This cable car, or teleférico is the longest and highest anywhere, with the exception of Alaska. Be sure to stop at the stages during ascent to acclimate to the altitude and thinning air. From the summit, you can see surrounding peaks and valleys.
