Climbing these mountains can be organised via through tour agents (see below) for serious mountaineers. A local guide who speaks a little bit of French is José Betancourt [mailto:josenancandi@latinmail.com]. Remember too that the altitude differential between Mérida and the top of the teleferico is huge and that an attempt to climb Pico Bolivar or Pico Humboldt should wait for the next day, least you experience mountain sickness.
