A few days ago with a group of my friends left San Cristobal and we headed toward the city of Merida to be able to enjoy one free days and montane forests in the world's longest cable car The Mukumbaji and be able to enjoy its five stations.

I want to show you my experience step by step how to

*. Our came out was of the hotel venetur where we bought a VIP package which allowed us the shuttle service from the hotel to the station of the cable car without making long queues to mount it. once there we were on the first train that is barinitas which comes out toward the second that is the mountain.

*. In the second station we were more than 3100 mts and you could see the city of Merida and enjoy for a few moment of their facilities with bathrooms and water filters and restaurant

*. Then we climbed up to the third La Aguada station where you could also visit the facilities as well as the second station has toilets and restaurant, in addition to a museum where you can appreciate the history of how was the project of the construction of the cable car

*. Being in the fourth round, has all the comforts of bathrooms and a restaurant in addition can be done with horses or donkeys by the adjacencies of the cable car and you can see the laguna glasses already, there is a height of more than 4 thousand meters, with the agitation of the travel decompression makes lack the oxygen but not to extreme levels.

*. And the last station is the Pico Espejo to more than 4thousand 700 meters in height, the view is extremely sensational is to be above the clouds and feel an atmosphere of peace and tranquility as well as you can see the image of the Virgen de las Nieves and the fund with a glacier at one of its ends at this point was not snowing but we were to 3 degrees Celsius.

We enjoyed a delicious cup of hot chocolate since we are freezing cold, at this station we have been approximately almost an hour enjoying the passage. From there we return successively to the first station this was a walk of almost five hours of enjoyment with my best friends.

We enjoyed extraordinary landscapes and visited the facilities of the observatory also but this will be for a second part, to continue to count on our great experience in Merida.
