Pico Cristóbal Colón is possibly the highest mountain in Colombia, with a reported height of 5,775 metres. Pico Cristóbal Colón and Pico Simón Bolívar are the two highest peaks in Colombia and almost equal in elevation. One of the two mountains is therefore the fifth most prominent in the world. The nearest peak that is higher is Cayambe, some 1,288 kilometres away. There is a permanent snowcap on this peak and on the nearby mountains. It is part of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range, along with Pico Simón Bolívar, and was named after Christopher Columbus. This mountain is the highest point in South America outside the Andes.
