La nostra giornata inizia con una salita ripida per un paio d'ore a Pan de Azucar picco 4,600 metri sul livello del mare. Tempo permettendo saremo in grado di vedere Pico Bolivar (il più alto del Venezuela a 5,007 metri) e Pico Humboldt. Faremo trekking attraverso un andino asciutto tipo di paesaggio del deserto per raggiungere il nostro secondo campeggio a bordo di 3 laghi di montagna. (6-8 ore di cammino). Pernottamento in tenda.

Giorno 3

Oggi scendiamo 3-4 ore sui piccoli sentieri di montagna dove il gioiello del Parco Nazionale Sierra La Culata ci attende. Le sorgenti calde naturali sono alla 3,200 metri e sono un luogo ideale per rilassarsi dopo un paio di notti fresche in montagna. La temperatura dell'acqua va da 32 – 38 Gradi Celsius. Dopo aver gustato un pic-nic faremo la nostra migrazione definitiva verso il basso per soddisfare il nostro trasporto alla città di Mérida.
