List of mountains in Colombia

Highest mountains

This is a list of the known highest mountains in Colombia, with an elevation of at least 4000 meters above sea level and a topographic prominence of at least 200 meters.There may be other mountains that satisfy these criteria but are missing from this list because one of the characteristics (e.g. elevation or prominence) have not been measured or published yet.

Elevations of 4000–4500, 4500–5000, and 5000+ meters approximately correspond to the superparamo, nival, and glacial biomes in Colombia, respectively. In the superparamo zone, conditions are generally cold, wet, and windy; most precipitation falls as rain, while snow is occasional. In the colder nival zone, snow and rain are frequent and can occur throughout the year. In the coldest glacial zone, precipitation falls predominantly as snow, ice can accumulate, and glaciers form. The boundaries between these zones vary due to local climatic conditions, and have also changed over time. In the 20th century, glaciers were recorded reaching as low as 4000 meters above sea level. Snow below 4000 meters is rare.

Most entries in these tables come from the Peak Visor online map, which is generally reliable. In some cases, however, the Peak Visor label is off-center from the actual summit and their database thus states an inaccurate elevation and prominence. In such cases, we estimate the true summit elevation and prominence based on Peak Visor's contour lines. For example: Mountain X is listed on Peak Visor as having an elevation of 4100 meters and a prominence of 200 meters, but its label is incorrectly placed on the slope of the mountain. The real summit lies between Peak Visor's 4120m and 4130 contour lines. On this Wikipedia page, the mountain is thus listed as having an intermediate elevation of 4125 meters, and a prominence of 225 meters (200+25). These corrections have been made to some entries, but there may be more that need similar correction. Peaks that lack a name in the Peak Visor or Peakbagger websites are listed on this page generically with their elevation as an identifier. For example, if an unnamed peak has an elevation of 4013 meters, it is listed as "Peak 4013." These temporary names can be replaced if additional sources can be found that name them explicitly. If there are two unnamed mountains of identical heights, they are distinguished with letters: for example, "Peak 4013a" and "Peak 4013b".
