The Andes extend from south to north through seven South American countries: Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. Along their length, the Andes are split into several ranges, separated by intermediate depressions.
Andes Mountains, South American mountain system that contains the highest peaks in the Western Hemisphere. One of Earth’s great natural features, the Andes form an unbroken rampart over some 5,500 miles—from the southern tip of South America to the continent’s northernmost coast on the Caribbean.
Andes mountains span over 4,300 miles (6,920 km) across seven countries in South America, featuring diverse ecosystems from rainforests to deserts and iconic peaks like Aconcagua. Formed through subduction of tectonic plates, the Andes boast dramatic peaks, valleys and plateaus.
Also referred to as “Cordillera de los Andes” in Spanish, the Andes Mountains is the world’s longest mountain range that stretches for more than 6,999km along the western margin of the South American continent.
The Andes are a chain of mountains that extends 4,300 miles along the west coast of South America and bisects seven countries—Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.
The Andean chain can be divided into three major sections: the Southern Andes, the Central Andes, and the Northern Andes. Broadly, these regions correspond to different climatic and geological conditions.
