In southern Colombia, the Andes constitute a single mountain range with peaks up to 5000 mts of height, but to the north rapidly divides into three mountain ranges respectively called West, Central and Eastern Andes Ranges.
The Central Range (Cordillera) is separated from the Occidental one by a geological fault, an average distance of 400 mts which is occupied to the south, by the Patia River and to the north by the Cauca River.
The Andean Region has all thermal floors within the tropical region, so this region has to offer ideal habitats to people as well as flora and fauna. That is why Colombia has become one of the countries that offers on of the greatest diversity of flora and fauna, worldwide.

For the conservation of these natural resources Colombia has created a large number of nature reserves known as National Parks, which are a sanctuary for various species of animals and plants have their habitats within them.
Bogota, capital city, and the most important city of the Eastern Andean Region, is a city in constant motion, a metropolis that has occupied in recent years a privileged place as one of the most important Latin American cities. Bogota is home to 8 million of the most varied people, all of these at 2600 meters above sea level (2600 meters closer to the stars). The city is guarded by the eastern hills of Guadalupe and Monserrrate, towering mountains that are beautifully magnified at 5 pm in sunny days. La Candelaria is the historical center, and the land of santafe is a national heritage retaining most traditional houses which include the Quinta de Bolivar, the house of Rafael Pombo and College of Our Lady of the Rosary.
