Colombia's position near the equator and its dramatic Andean topography create an extraordinary variety of microclimates packed into a relatively compact area. The country uses elevation rather than latitude to define its climate zones: the tierra caliente (hot lands) below 1,000 meters, the tierra templada (temperate lands) from 1,000 to 2,000 meters, and the tierra fría (cold lands) above 2,000 meters, each with distinct temperature ranges and vegetation.
