2 Best Sights in Merida and the Andes, Venezuela

The Museo Arqueológico has the region's finest collection of figurines, ceramics, and tools from the pre-Hispanic cultures that once dominated this part of the Andes.

The Museo de Arte Colonial houses a rich collection of religious art from the 16th to 19th centuries and also showcases rotating exhibitions with plenty of local flavor. Though the space is small, it's utterly worth the small entry fee to enjoy the sun-splashed space and to soak up some rays in the open-air courtyard.
