The Andes mountain range is the biggest continental mountain range in the world. It crosses 7 Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The Andes mountains cover a surface area of almost 3 million km². In the Andes we can find the biggest volcanoes in the entire world and it has the biggest mountain in the world apart from Asia: the Aconcagua, 6960,8 meters high.

When it comes to wildlife, in the Andes we can find some of the most impressive wild animals in the world. Those are animals able to endure the harsh weather conditions and changing temperatures during day and night. Some of which are the rodent vizcacha, the biggest existing bird condor, pumas, guanacos or huemules.
