Marz 0 #1 December 2, 2004 On December 21, I will be leaving from Toronto to fly to Cararas Venezuela with my wife with and kid. The next day we fly to Merida in the Andes where we will spend christmas eve with Angela's (my wife) mom and Dad. My buddy Chris who has been living in Venezuela for 7 years is meeting me on the 25th and we'll be taking the world's longest cable-car ride up Pico Bolivar, the highest point in this part of the Andes. The top of the peak is at over 16,000 ft however the cable car goes to 15,000 or so... Check out this page! (in spanish but the pics are worth it!!!) http://www.telefericodemerida.com/galeria.php I've only been that high in a jump plane!!!!! This should be fun if I don't go hypoxic on the way up! I'm glad there are stations on the way... Anyone been to the Andes before? Anyone taken this particular trip? Any tips for the trek other than "quit smoking now"?

Girlfalldown 0 #2 December 2, 2004 I've been to the Andes from the Argentina side. It was incredibly beautiful. Take deep slow breaths and soak it all in. Sounds like an amazing trip. Have a great time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
