An isolated pyramid of a mountain range that rises from Caribbean beaches to 5,700-meter glaciated peaks in barely 40 kilometers. Home to the Kogi, Arhuaco, and Wiwa peoples, its foothills hold coffee farms, endemic birds, and multi-day treks through territory the indigenous communities consider the heart of the world.
