Laguna Verde, Glacial lake in Sierra Nevada National Park, Venezuela
Located at an elevation of 3,926 meters, Laguna Verde sits beneath Pico Humboldt, forming a green water mirror in the Venezuelan Andes mountains.
The lake emerged through the geological action of La Corona glacier between Humboldt and Bonpland peaks during the Upper Precambrian era.
Local communities maintain traditional practices around the lake, which serves as a natural boundary and water source for the Merida mountain populations.
Visitors need proper high-altitude gear and acclimatization time when hiking to Laguna Verde, as temperatures can drop significantly at this elevation.
The lake receives continuous water flow from the glacier through El Suero lagoon before feeding into La Coromoto stream and the Chama River system.
