Answer:

Sierra Nevada

Step-by-step explanation:

The mountainous system called Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta since the arrival of the Spaniards to the American continent, named by the original towns such as Sénenuglan, U`munukunu and Abu Sheiumun is conceived as the 'Ancestral Territory' of the original towns Iku (Arhuaco), Kággaba (Kogui), Wiwa and Kankuamo and biophysically as a pyramidal territory and isolated from the Andes mountain range, considered the highest coastal mountain in the world; it rises steeply from the shores of the Caribbean Sea to reach a height of 5,775 meters in its snow-capped peaks Bolívar and Colón known from the tradition of the towns such as: Nabuldue, Chúndwa, Shinmundua; located just 42 kilometers from the sea.

Due to the variety of ecosystems, thermal floors by the sea, its unique beauty and its cultural wealth constitutes a unique territory. In the Sierra Nevada, protection figures have been declared as the Black Line (Decree 1500 of 2018), the Forest Reserve Zone (Law 2 of 1959), the Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site by UNESCO (1979) , the Zone of Protection and Development of Renewable Natural Resources and the Environment.
