Chapel

Chapel


This chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Coromoto was built in 1953; it's located at Eagle Peak in Merida, Venezuela at the highest paved road in the country, at about 13,500 feet of elevation. Inside you can find the image of Our Lady of Coromoto, patron Virgin of Venezuela.

    Rest Stop | Parada


    If you stand in front of the chapel you'll see the rest stop, you can get drinks as well as crafts typical of the area.

    Si se paran al frente de la capilla pueden ver la parada donde venden comida, bebidas y artesanía tipica.

    great how you placed the church to the right in the shot. Makes it so much more interesting...

    Thanks Tor, I'm glad you think so as well! it's difficult sometimes to make composition 'interesting', I'm pretty happy with this one.

    Y por supuesto la capilla era una mancha gris entre la neblina y el asma que me atacaba por el frio no me dejo llegar ni al deseo de entrar en ella...
