Mérida in Venezuela VENEZUELA venezuela. merida Informations and links Mérida Map Mérida Photos Mérida Population on 21-Oct-01 : 196000 ------------------------------- The Venezuelan city of M?rida is capital of the state of the same name M?rida State, as well as the state's Libertador Municipality. Known as "La Ciudad de los Caballeros" (The City of Gentlemen), the city is considered one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Venezuela. M?rida has a population of 204,879 (2001 Census) sumed up with the surrounding settlements of Ejido (estimated 200,000) and Tienditas del Chama (50,000-100,000), making it a medium conurbation if one considers the entire valley. The city is filled with a highly active cultural life. The weather and natural scenery of the city are one of its well known attributes. Although at a tropical latitude, its climate is relatively mild (daily high temperatures around 20 to 25 ?C), with easy access to Venezuela's highest mountains in the Andes (some of them reaching the snow line) where temperature can go below freezing point. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Venezuela was one of three countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: an embattled president, a divided military, drug-related conflicts along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples..
