Montagnes et volcans en Colombie

Colombian Peaks and Volcanoes

Colombia's topography is defined by the Andes and isolated massifs. This list includes the Nevado del Huila, the country's highest volcano at 5,364 meters, and the active Cumbal stratovolcano in Nariño. In the north, the El Totumo mud volcano offers a unique geothermal feature near the Caribbean coast. Urban peaks like Medellín's Cerro El Volador provide protected green space, while remote ranges like the Serranía de Macuira and the Serranía de San Lucas harbor high-altitude cloud forests and diverse ecosystems.
