Serranía de Perijá, Mountain range between Colombia and Venezuela.
The Serranía de Perijá extends for 310 kilometers along the Colombia-Venezuela border, reaching heights of 3,630 meters at Cerro de Las Tetas peak.
The mountain range remained largely unexplored until 2016 due to the presence of armed groups that controlled the territory for several decades.
Indigenous communities including Yucpa, Barí, Iroko, and Sokorpa maintain their traditional ways of life within designated reservations across the mountain range.
Visitors can access the range through Valledupar city, with accommodation available at Chamicero del Perijá Bird Reserve, which operates without electrical power.
The northern terminus of the Andes contains numerous unidentified species of flora and fauna, including the Perijá Tapaculo bird discovered in 2015.
