Teta de Niquitao-Guirigay Natural Monument, Natural monument in Boconó, Venezuela.

Teta de Niquitao-Guirigay is a mountain complex in the Venezuelan Andes, protected as a national monument. It rises through several vegetation zones, from forested lower slopes to open rocky highlands near the summit.

In 1996, the Venezuelan government officially declared this mountain complex a protected national monument. The decision came as part of broader efforts to safeguard the fragile ecosystems of the high Andes.

The peak's name comes from its shape: "teta" means breast in Spanish, and the summit rises above the Niquitao parish. Locals also call it Musi or Picacho, from the Spanish word pico for peak. The mountain is a landmark for people across Trujillo state, who see its profile from the Boconó area.

The dry season offers the best conditions for visiting, with more accessible trails and clearer views across the highlands. The terrain involves steep climbs, so sturdy footwear and layers for cold mountain air are important to bring.

The peak is known locally by two other names, Musi and Picacho, which residents use in everyday speech alongside the official name. This layering of names reflects how long people in the surrounding area have lived alongside and named this mountain.
