The Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta

Located in northern Colombia and covering close to one million acres, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park rises nearly 19,000 feet from the Caribbean Sea. It is set apart from the Andes chain that runs through Colombia and is the highest coastal mountain, only 26 miles from Caribbean beaches. The Sierra Nevada is source to 35 watersheds, making it a regional “water factory” supplying 1.5 million residents as well as nearby farming plains. 85% of the Sierra is overlapped with the indigenous communities of the Kogi-Arsario and the Arhuaco.
