Pico Espejo

Pico Espejo, Mountain summit in Sierra Nevada, Venezuela.

Pico Espejo is a summit in the Sierra Nevada of the Venezuelan Andes, next to Pico Bolívar. Its height is given as 4,765 metres in Spanish sources and 4,880 metres in English ones. The fifth and last station of the Mérida cable car stands near the top, making it the most accessible of the range's high peaks.

The cable car system to reach this summit was completed in 1960 with help from French, Swiss, and German engineers. This project connected the city of Mérida to the extreme heights and made the peak accessible.

The summit draws climbers and nature lovers who want to explore the Andean landscape. Many visit to experience the extreme altitude and the changing vegetation firsthand.

The Mérida cable car climbs to the summit in four stages, ending at the fifth and final station, Pico Espejo, at 4,765 metres. The service was shut from December 2008 until April 2016 for renovations, so check that it is running before setting out. The altitude is high enough that acclimatisation or medication is often needed.

The fifth and final station of the Mérida cable car sits near the summit, making Pico Espejo the most accessible of the great peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Mérida. The cable car was out of service for renovations from December 2008 until April 2016.
