Meseta la Galera Natural Monument, Protected plateau in Mérida, Venezuela
The Meseta la Galera extends over 95 hectares with a completely flat summit reaching 1055 meters above sea level at its highest point.
The Venezuelan government designated Meseta la Galera as the third Natural Monument in Mérida state through official decree on June 5, 1992.
A 12-meter-tall Christ the King sculpture, representing the Sacred Heart of Jesus, stands at the summit since 1952, watching over Tovar city.
Visitors need to obtain permits from Inparques before conducting any activities within the Natural Monument, and large recreational events are restricted.
The geological formation resembles a ship and contains various tree species including cedro, bucare, pardillo, yagrumo, and guamo within its secondary forest.
