The Pico Pan de Azúcar, at 4680 meters above sea level, is the ninth highest mountain of Venezuela, and the third highest of the Sierra de la Culata range in the Mérida State. Its name, which translates as "Bread of Sugar", is due to the sandy slopes of the mountain, which resembles "Pan dulce", a kind of bread sprinkled with sugar eaten in the country. The summit offers a scenic view, including Lake Maracaibo, Sierra Nevada de Mérida and the surrounding mountains of the Sierra de la Culata. {{Infobox mountain| name = Pico Pan de Azúcar | photo = Pan_de_azúcar.jpg | photo_caption = Pico Pan de Azúcar as seen from the East at Alto de Mucujún | elevation_m = 4680 | elevation_ref = | location = Mérida state, Venezuela | range = Sierra de la Culata, Andes | coordinates = {{coord|8|48|N|70|59|W|type:mountain}} | first_ascent = Wilhem Sievers, June 5th, 1885 | easiest_route = Walk, easy climb PD }} LocationPico Pan de Azúcar is located 27.7 kilometers to the Northeast of Mérida, Mérida, the capital city of the state.
