The andes is a great mountain system or
cordillera that forms the western fringe of
South America, extending through some 67° of
latitude and the republics of Colombia,
Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and
Argentina. The mountains exceed 3,600m
(12,000ft) in height, with a length of
6,500km (4,000 miles).
