Pico Piedras Blancas
The Pico Piedras Blancas (also known as Misamán), at , is the highest mountain of the Sierra de la Culata range in the Mérida State, and the fifth highest mountain in Venezuela. Its name, meaning "White Stones", is of doubted origin, since the massif is predominantly grey in color (however, see 〔Although there's some doubt regarding the name of the mountain, there's certain local legend about the origin of the mountains and surrounding lagoons at Páramo de Piedras Blancas . It tells about the mourn in which the women of the indigenous tribes fell after the Conquistadores slaughtered their husbands. God, afflicted by "the suffering of His daughters", and wanting to alleviate their great sorrow, turned them into mountains, but still those "mountains" cried, giving origin with their "tears" to the local lagoons. If any tear became trapped between any frailejón or trap of the terrain, it turns into a "White Stone, as milk, of which there are thousands in the summits of the Páramo de Piedras Blancas".〕). Pico Piedras Blancas lacks glaciers. However, seasonal snowfalls may cover briefly its flanks. From its summit and under clear conditions, Lake Maracaibo can be seen. One of the accesses to reach the base of the mountain, is through the Mifafí Condor Reserve, which hosts some specimens of this andean bird.
