Mérida
Mérida, Mérida, Venezuela
Description
Mérida is, without a doubt, one of Venezuela's most beloved cities: the "City of Gentlemen," set in a valley among the peaks of the Andes mountain range. Founded in 1558 by Juan Rodríguez Suárez, it preserves a university, cultural, and deeply welcoming soul that has made it famous beyond our borders. Its mountain climate, its cable car, its nearby towns, and the energy of its student youth give it a unique character. Mérida is the great meeting point of the Andean region, a place people reach in search of nature, knowledge, and the warmth of its people.
The city of Mérida has a population of 199,878 inhabitants, while its metropolitan area—comprising the Libertador, Campo Elías, Sucre, and Santos Marquina municipalities—reaches some 392,751 people according to the 2011 census (Wikipedia, "Mérida (Venezuela)," accessed 2026). Located at about 1,600 meters above sea level, its economy revolves around university education, tourism, and services, drawing visitors and students from across the country.
