Quick Summary

The La Macarena Mountains are an isolated mountain range in Colombia, rising approximately 8,000 feet (2,500 meters) from the surrounding lowlands in the eastern part of the country. This range is part of the larger Andean cordillera system, which dominates the western landscape of Colombia. The Andes are a young and high mountain range formed by tectonic forces. The La Macarena Mountains are situated between the Amazonian rainforest to the south and the Llanos, a vast savanna region, to the north. This unique location creates an isolated tropical ecosystem within the broader Colombian geography.1
