explanation for the snow on the five highest peaks of the Venezuelan
cordillera that seem to remain frozen in defiance of the hot sun that warms
the lush green valley of Merida and Mucuchies. According to the account,
five giant white eagles were perched majestically on top of the peaks,
arousing the intense curiosity of Caribay, the daughter of the Sun and the
Moon. Against the counsel of the village elders, she set out for their perches,
determined to see for herself the splendor of their brilliant white plumage. Up
and up she climbed, until finally she reached the great birds. But as she
extended her hand to grab a feather, the eagles began to screech and flap
their wings in a fury. Feathers rained down over the five peaks and she fled,
not stopping until she reached the valley once again. Upon looking back, she
found the five white eagles had disappeared. The only trace they left was the
beautiful layer of brilliant white feathers that now caps the top of our great
Andean mountain range.
