The road from Mérida, built by prisoners during the years Gómez, leads you to San Cristóbal, founded in 1561 by Juan de Maldonado on a vast plateau surrounding the hills. To achieve this, we cross a valley dominated by cacti and légumineuses trees, then the landscape transforms into a low-altitude moist forest. The 400 000 inhabitants of Tachira's capital have the reputation of being among the most kind of the country, and the city is much cheaper than Mérida. During the last two weeks of January, one of the most beautiful international bullfighting. It is also here that Venezuela plays part of its international football matches, in the stadium that can hold 40 000 spectators. This is the way to Colombia, a few kilometres away.
