Pico Bonpland is Venezuela's fourth-highest peak, rising to 4,883 metres in the Sierra Nevada de Merida of the Venezuelan Andes in Merida State. Named for the naturalist Aime Bonpland, who never actually visited the Venezuelan Andes, the peak and its neighbor Pico Humboldt are protected within Sierra Nevada National Park. Glaciers formed on Pico Bonpland during the Pleistocene-era Merida glaciation had entirely disappeared by 2011.
