The Sierra de La Culata is a mountain range in the largest massif in Venezuela, the Cordillera de Mérida, which in turn is part of the northern extent of the Cordillera de los Andes (Andes Mountains). The Sierra la Culata includes one of the highest peaks in Venezuela, like Pico Piedras Blancas, Pico Pan de Azúcar, Collado del Cóndor, between others.
It is located between the states of Mérida and Trujillo. Most of the lagoons are a result from the Mérida glaciation.
The Sierra La Culata National Park is a protected area within the range.
