The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is an isolated range of mountains in Colombia, separated from the Andes. It rises to a maximum elevation of 5,775 m (18,946 ft) above sea level while being only 42 km (26 miles) from the coast of the Caribbean Sea. Its biodiversity led UNESCO to designate the mountains as a Biosphere Reserve in 1979.
