Climate and equipment

Colombia, a large South American country crossed by the equator in the southern part, has several types of climate, although in the plains it is warm all year round, and everywhere temperatures vary little during the year. The main differences are due either to the altitude, which varies the temperature, or to the distribution and quantity of rainfall. In fact, there are arid and rainy areas, grasslands and forests, lowland cities with sweltering heat and high-altitude cities with mild climates, pristine coasts with warm seas and snow-capped peaks in the Andes. On the plains, however, and up to about 1,000 metres above sea level (tierras calientes), it is warm all year round, while the tierras templadas are pleasantly warm, and the tierras Frías above 2,000 metres are cool or cold.
