Geographic Coverage

Santa Marta is a mountain range located in the north of Colombia (Magdalena), which is isolated from the rest of the Andes. It is the highest seaboard mountain system which reaches 5775 meters above sea level and the distance from the Caribbean sea is only 42 km. The surface covers 17000 km2. Perijá goes along the limit between Colombia and Venezuela (Norte de Santander, Cesar, and Guajira). It covers a surface of 2952 km2, with a extension of 310km. The highest point is found at 3750 meters above sea level. The páramo and forest vegetation similarities with Santa Marta suggest a past corridor and biological flux between both mountain ranges.
