Frailejones of the Venezuelan Andean Páramo
During my trip to the city of Mérida, capital of Mérida state, Venezuela, I had the opportunity to visit the Merino Andean Páramos. The Ruta de los Páramos runs along the trans-Andean road, which climbs the mountain range to a maximum height of 4,118 m.s.n.m, which culminates in the Collado del Nido del Cóndor, better known as Pico El Águila. The route includes a large number of small agricultural communities located along the entire length of the road. In this area we can observe its characteristic vegetation, whose main exponent is the Frailejón plant, which in addition to its beauty, has great healing properties.
