Hello Friends of Steemit.
In this Post you will see a series of panoramic photos, taken towards the peak of Bolívar, in my first high mountain and summit in the highest point of Venezuela, at 4978 meters above sea level, located in the Sierra Nevada National Park, Mérida-Venezuela, in the third week of the month of December of last year (2017). Travel that without a doubt the best that has been done so far, for the singular spirituality, lived emotions, unique experiences, for all that the mountain teaches you, that you can only know by living it. A dream come true.

Mukumbarí is a cable car system in Venezuela. It is located in the Venezuelan city of Merida at an altitude of 1,640 meters (5,380 feet), up to Espejo Peak, at 4,765 meters (15,633 feet), within the Sierra Nevada National Park in the Venezuelan Andes. It is the longest cable car and the second longest in the world for only 500 meters, but it is in the first place because it is the only one that combined such height and length. The Cable Car of Mérida has a trajectory of 12.5 kilometers, reaching a height of 4,765 meters, which makes it a marvel of engineering unique in its type and with more than 50 years of history.
