The state of Mérida is a place full of mountains, rivers and streams, ideal for spending a well-deserved vacation and so we decided to make it a group of teachers from the school where I work together with family and friends, where the person in charge of the excursion was the director of the institution who was in charge of looking for the encava, inn and snack for said adventure. This state is located in the Andes region and its capital is the city of Mérida, there is located one of the highest peaks, the Bolívar peak which unfortunately we could not visit.
Our adventure began on Thursday 07/28/2022 leaving Portuguesa state at 5am and already at 10am we were going up the paramo, our first stop was in Barinitas to have breakfast and take the opportunity to go to the bathroom, then we find the tourist hostel El velo de la novia, which is located about fifteen minutes from Santo Domingo on the side of the road, whose atmosphere is extraordinary, allinos it rained a little, but it did not prevent us from going down to visit it.
We continue to Santo Domingo, we find the house of cakes I and the house of trout. There we took our respective photographs and many took the opportunity to buy their strawberries with creams and the memories in "Yo amo Mérida" could not be missing.
We continue going up and we find the house of cakes II and an environment with spectacular views.
We arrived at the Mucubaji Lagoon, there the cold was very strong, since it was very cloudy and its beauty could not be fully appreciated, several of those who were walking only went down to drink the respective photograph.
When we were going up Mucuchies, the encava had an accident, so we went down on foot while the drivers solved the problem on that route, we arrived at the Museum of Antiquities the Loca Luz Caraballo and then further down the Mifafi Tourist Shelter where they took the opportunity to have lunch while they solved the mishap with the bus.
After solving the problem, the encava came looking for us at the Tourist Refuge to take us to the stone chapel, which was built entirely by Juan Félix Sánchez using rocks, corals, shells and cement with the help of other people from his village. Next we visited the monument to the Snowy dog, but unfortunately the mucuchies dog was not there to take the respective photograph. We finished the day super exhausted until we reached the Guamanchii inn, place of our lodging very close to the heroines square.
The next day after breakfast we started the route to the Aquarium where it should be noted that said entrance is completely free, there we were guided by a worker from the place where he gave us the explanation of the fish found there. After our visit we went to have lunch in the main market where the dishes are quite accessible, especially in El sazón de la merideñita and where you can find all kinds of crafts, sweets, artisan liquors among many other things.
We continue our tour to the center and pass by the 1000 flavors ice cream parlor, winner of the Guinness record award for being the ice cream parlor with the most ice cream flavors in the world, although my two companions and I went for the traditional strawberry and blackberry, but others did dare to try the avocado and caraota, saying that it was very tasty, being there we found a tour guide who took us to see the Metropolitan Stadium of Mérida and the Corner of the boys where children and adults have fun in the attractions that are there although It is a bit abandoned, after the night we arrived at the posada and then from there to the plaza las heroínas, since it is more attractive at night.
The next day, after resting, our first stop was the Chorros de Milla Zoo, a science and technology park and a botanical garden whose entrance fees for each place are in $2 for adults, $1 for children and seniors. In the zoo we can find animals of different species and opens its doors from 9am to 6pm, for its part, the science museum is a playful promotion space where we find several attractions for children and adults they also have guides that explain these attractions and a lagoon where you can take a boat ride. In the botanical garden we find bamboo, the largest collection of bromeliads in the entire country and a beautiful lagoon that can be crossed by the bridge of desires and for the more adventurous they have included zip lines, there you can also camp as long as the garden areas are taken care of. We continue to the main market again to have lunch and then go directly to the children's park, Bolivar square, church and cathedral. Ending that day early to go to rest, others preferred to go back to the plaza las heroínas.
For our last day in this city we arrived at the hot springs of the musuy, which has an approximate 40-minute walk depending on the physical activity of each person. It should be noted that transportation goes up to where the registration offices are located and the cost for said adventure is $2 for adults and $1 for children and older adults, 6$ on horseback only to the antenna, the slope is quite steep but we managed to climb it taking the respective breaks to get some air and hydrate ourselves a bit until we reach the antenna, After that, the path is flat to enjoy that wonder that nature gives us. There is also a camping area for adventurers, after coming down from the hot springs we reached the end of our walk and returned to Santo Domingo where most of them took the opportunity to have lunch and and continue our journey home to the Portuguesa state. During this trip we went 4 days and 3 nights to enjoy all those wonderful places in the state of Mérida.
