Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Coromoto, Merida

Finding yourself at the highest point of any paved road in Venezuela (4,118 metres), next to the rather imposing Pico El Aguila Monument, should not prevent you from walking up a few more metres, as slowly as this altitude demands, so as to visit a beautiful chapel honoring Our Lady of Coromoto.The shrine was constructed in 1953 as a tribute to the Episcopal consecration of José Humberto Quintero, who later became a Cardinal. From this privileged view point, and in the middle of the intense and silent cold, you will be also be able to admire the distant and magnificent valleys of the Chama, Santo Domingo and Motatán rivers.
