Sierra Nevada National Park spans 276,446 hectares across the states of Mérida and Barinas, featuring mountains, glacial lakes, and cloud forests.
President Germán Suárez Flamerich established the park in 1952, following studies conducted by the University of the Andes commission in 1948.
The park contains the Pico Bolívar, reaching 4,978 meters, which represents a national symbol of Venezuela's natural heritage.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entry points, including the Mérida cable car system and the road through Tabay village.
The park includes thirteen watersheds and ten glacial lakes, providing water resources for both Lake Maracaibo and the Orinoco River basin.
