Elevation

Bucaramanga, Colombia, is situated at an elevation of approximately 959 meters (3,146 feet) above sea level. This elevation contributes to its mild and pleasant climate, as it is located at a higher altitude within the Andean region of Colombia. Many residents occupy unstable lands descending steeply from the meseta. Westbound of it, the Rio de Oro Canyon is located at an altitude of 600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level. Eastbound, the Andean Range rises up in high peaks, reaching almost 3,700 metres (12,100 ft) AMSL in the place locally known as “Paramo de Berlin”.
