The capital of the state of Mérida sits above an expansive mesa at 1,625 meters above sea level at the foot of the highest mountain in Venezuela. The intellectual atmosphere that emanates from this university-town of 30,000 students is reflected in many of the restaurants, cafes, theatres and cultural institutions of the city. The Andean people of this region live a simple traditional way-of-life still using ancient farming methods.
Downtown in the peaceful Andean university town of Merida, our Andes operation is perfectly located for hiking, horse riding, rafting and mountain biking and we have the world’s longest cable car ride on our doorstep.
The Posada is where most of your classroom based language tuition will be provided and is a three storey building located on the main square. Renovated in 2003, the Posada provides bright and comfortable accommodation, classrooms and recreational space.
