Frontino Mountains

The Frontino Mountains rise in the northern part of Colombia's Western Cordillera. Their high páramo, also called the Páramo del Sol, stands above the forests and valleys of Antioquia, with Alto Campanas reaching about 4,080 metres. Wet grasslands and mountain streams collect water for rivers flowing toward the Atrato and Cauca basins. The cold heights form a striking contrast with the humid lower slopes of the Andes.
