-------------------------------
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.
