Geographical notes
It is mostly occupied by the Cordillera di Mérida, which is part of the Andes chain, although it has a fairly extensive flat area in the west overlooking Lake Maracaibo. The highest peak in the state is the Teta de Niquitao, located at 4.006 m.
When to go
The climate, closely related to altitude, reaches an annual average of 30 ° C in the Santa Apolonia area, to drop below 10 ° C in the high mountain areas, located above 3,000 meters. The most densely populated areas, generally located between 500 and 1,800 m a.s.l. have average annual temperatures between 15 ° C and 25 ° C.
Background
The Spaniards began to permanently occupy the region around the middle of the sixteenth century, gradually mixing with the indigenous peoples. In 1557 the city of Trujillo was founded, a base for the creation of new urban centers and rural settlements in the area.
