Hiking in the Andes
The Mountainous Western region of Venezuela is ideal for hiking. Hiring a good guide for the duration will definitely enrich your experience. They can arrange various activities for you, such as horseback riding, mountain biking, and paragliding (see my sports category). They might take you to some out of the way places too. Our guide took us on a hike to a natural hot spring up in the mountains..it was awesome! (see my "off the beaten path" category). I arranged my guide through Lost World Adventures (see contacts below). She met and picked me up from Merida airport and was great from beginning to end of the Andean part of the trip. Good, worn in hiking shoes, flashlight and replacement batteries. Spare socks, pants and shirt..in case you get wet. Light and heavy jacket, water.
