Geography

Location

Colombia borders the Pacific Ocean to the west, Panama and the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela and Brazil to the east, Peru and Ecuador to the south; Colombia also includes the islands of Isla de San Andrés, Isla de Providencia and Cayos de Albuquerque, some 200 km off the coast of Nicaragua, as well as the 2 km ² uninhabited Pacific island of Isla de Malpelo (at 4 ° north latitude and 81 ° 30 ′ west Length). The “backbone” of the natural spatial division is formed by the high mountain system of the Andes, which in the Nudo (mountain junction) de Pasto, just north of the border with Ecuador, runs into three to the north Cordillera strands fanned out: The Eastern Cordillera is mainly composed of folded layers of chalk, up to 5,493 m above sea level (Nevado del Cocuy), with many high basins (including Sabana de Bogotá). It continues north in the Cordillera de Perijá, partly on Venezuelan territory, to the Guajira peninsula. The Central Cordillera, mostly made up of paleozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks, is dominated by young, partly still active volcanoes, among others. Nevado del Huila (5 750 m above sea level), Nevado del Tolima (5 215 m above sea level), Nevado del Ruiz (5 400 m above sea level; during the eruption on November 13, 1985, the city of Armero was among others completely destroyed and over 23,000 people killed). Check shoe-wiki to see Colombia Tour Plan.

Its northern continuation is the crystalline nest block of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, which has been shifted north along a rift valley and is isolated from the Caribbean coastal lowlands to 5,775 m above sea level. The Western Cordillera, a closed mountain range of predominantly metamorphic rocks (2,000–4,000 m above sea level), only reaches 4,764 m above sea level in the south with the volcano Cumbal. In the north it dissolves into lower hill country. The coastal cordillera (Serranía de Baudó, up to 1,810 m above sea level) extends as an independent chain in the northwest of the Pacific coastal lowlands. The Cordilleras are separated from each other by partly deep longitudinal valleys (rift breaks) in which the main rivers (Río Magdalena, Río Cauca, Río Atrato) to the Caribbean Sea.

The rivers to the Pacific are only short, but very rich in water (e.g. Río Patía). A 30–100 km wide lowland strip stretches west of the Andes. A wide mangrove belt lies off the Pacific coast, especially in the south.

The east and southeast of Colombia are mainly lowlands made up of tertiary and quaternary sediments (around 70% of the land area), with wet savannahs (Llanos) in the north and tropical rainforest in the south. They are drained in the north by tributaries of the Orinoco (Río Guaviare, Río Meta, etc.), in the south by rivers of the Amazon system (including Río Vaupés, Río Caquetá, Río Putumayo).

Climate

The climate is tropical; significant temperature differences result only from the height graduation; in the Tierra caliente (up to 1,000 m above sea level; 83% of the land area; Tierra) the annual mean is 23–30 ° C. The snow line is at 4,600–4,800 m above sea level. The Tierra templada between 1,000 and 2,000 m above sea level has temperatures between 17 and 25 ° C and is the main growing area for coffee. Most of the population lives in the Tierra fría (up to 2,800 m above sea level, 12-17 ° C). The Caribbean coast is under the influence of the northeast trade winds dry in winter, the Península de Guajira in the northeast semi-arid; the Pacific coastal plain and the western capping of the Western Cordillera are extremely rainy (in some cases up to 10,000 mm per year). Abundant rainfall also falls in the Amazonian lowlands (in some cases up to 5,000 mm). The long valleys of the Río Magdalena and Río Cauca and the high basins are relatively dry (500–1,500 mm).
