Colombian Massif, Mountain range in Cauca Department, Colombia.
The Colombian Massif extends across 32,682 square kilometers through south central Colombia, reaching elevations from 2,600 to 4,646 meters at Puracé peak.
The mountain system has functioned as a natural water reservoir for centuries, providing essential resources to numerous Colombian communities through its extensive river networks.
Indigenous communities within the massif maintain traditional agricultural methods specific to different altitudes, ensuring sustainable food production across diverse ecological zones.
The region requires careful preparation for exploration due to rapid weather changes and varying temperatures between different elevation zones throughout the mountain range.
The massif contains 362 high-mountain water bodies that supply 70 percent of Colombia's freshwater, feeding major rivers including Magdalena, Cauca, and Caquetá.
