What Are The Highest Mountains In Colombia?
Colombia is situated at the top of South America and is the northern terminus of the Andes mountain range. The Andes are one of the longest mountain ranges in the world and they are home to a high concentration of 5000 and 6000 meter peaks.
While the biggest mountains in the Andes lie further south in Argentina and Chile, Colombia is still home to numerous peaks over 5000 meters. Information on these mountains is beautifully vague. We scoured the internet for information on the highest mountains in Colombia and found differing information – therefore we do not guarantee the accuracy of this list at all.
To compile this list of the highest mountains in Colombia we turned to the definitive source for mountain information in the Andes: Andes.org.uk. That site contains information that documents “all the 5000m peaks in the Andes (with over 400m re-ascent) on this website, about 860 peaks over 5000m.” We scoured this list to compile the list you’ll find below. To locate the mountains on the map featured below, we utilized Peakery.com.
