The Andina región has very good reverses of oil, coal, iron,
gold, emeralds, mineral salt, copper and many more.
The weather in the Andina región is warm and mountain.
It is characterized by its low temperatures especially in áreas close to the
high mountains.
The two main river basins of the Andina región are those of
the Magdalena and Cauca rivers.
The Cauca river basin is located between the central and
western mountain ranges and has an altitudinal variation.That oscillates between 1120 meters above sea level.
In
account the relief of the Andean region is that which is located within the
equatorial Andes of the north.
The
Andean mountain range penetrates the Colombian territory, very close to the
pacific coast, by the border with Ecuador, where the Pastos knot is formed, in
the department of Nariño. Following a little further north, in the Colombian
massif, three branches emerge: the Western, Central and Eastern Cordilleras,
which is detached from the Central. These three cover the country from
south-west to north-east and include the departments of Tolima, Huila, Quindio,
Risaralda, Caldas, Cundinamarca, Boyaca, Antioquia, Santander, Norte de
Santander and part of the departments of Cauca, Valle del Cauca and Nariño.
The Western mountain range
with an extension of 1,095 km and is the mountain range that occupies the
second place in expansion; It is the lowest of the three mountain ranges and
highlights the Azufral volcano, the Farallones de Cali and the hills of Torrá,
Tatamá and Tamaná, north of the department of Risaralda.
At the height of the
Antioqueña region, the Western Cordillera reaches 4,080 meters above sea level,
in the páramo de Frontino. It has an area of 76,000 square km.
The Cordillera Central is the
highest and oldest mountain range of the Andes system, reaching, on average,
3,200 meters above sea level. With an extension of 1,000 km, it is the backbone
of the Colombian Andes. It has an area of 110,000 square km.
The heights that stand out
most in this are the volcanoes: Galeras and Doña Juana, to Pasto; It will
sotará and Puracé in the Colombian massif. In the center, is the Nevado del
Huila and to the north, the snow-capped volcanoes of Ruíz, Santa Isabel,
Quindio and Tolima, which form Los Nevados National Natural Park.
As soon as the Eastern
mountain range is the youngest of the system, it has an extension of 1200 km
and has an average height of 3000 meters above sea level. There the highlands
of the savannah of Bogotá, Duitama, Sogamoso, Belén and Santa Rosa among others
stand out. In the geographical point of
view you can find from snow-capped mountains, volcanoes and páramos, passing
through natural forests, cloud forests and hot springs, to valleys, canyons and
plateaus.
It limits with Ecuador, by the
south, with the Atlantic Ocean, by the north; with the Pacific Region, in the
west, and with the Orinoquía and Amazonía, in the east.
The three mountain ranges that cross it, have
peaks of volcanic origin that can reach 5 thousand meters above sea level.
There is a geological fault
(the one that divides the Central and Western Cordilleras), which forms a
valley that occupies the rivers Patia to the south and Cauca to the north.
