Pico Bolívar: ce qu’il y a autour, comment y aller et quand venir · 2026
Mountaineers based in the surrounding valleys trade urban comforts for severe alpine weather and foot-only ascents beyond the cable car terminal.
Pico Bolívar stands as the highest mountain in Venezuela and requires a foot traverse from Pico Espejo.
Pico Bolívar forms the highest summit in the country, situated within Mérida State. The peak bears the name of the independence leader Simón Bolívar. Reaching the summit requires dedicated mountaineering, as no roads or mechanized transport lead directly to the crest. Climbers rely on foot travel through steep alpine terrain.

Travelers typically stage their expeditions using the Mérida cable car system, which terminates at the adjacent Pico Espejo rather than the summit itself. The remaining traverse between the cable station and the peak demands technical rock scrambling and complete self-sufficiency in high-altitude conditions without motorized support.
