Norcacia Jungle

The Norcacia forest lies among the mountain slopes of the upper Magdalena region, where the Eastern Cordillera rises from the river valley. The southern Colombian highlands contain a mosaic of forests and rivers, with the Colombian Massif giving rise to the Eastern Cordillera. The Suaza is one of the rivers draining this part of the upper Magdalena basin. Dense vegetation and steep ground distinguish these slopes from the warmer open country along the main river.
