The Cordillera Central range is one of the three branches of ridges in the Andes Mountains that split in southern Colombia towards the north up to the Montes de Maria.
It extends from the Nudo de Almaguer, or the "Colombian Mountain Mass" in Cauca, located in southern Colombia, to the Serranía de San Lucas in Bolivar to the north. The range is bounded by the Cauca and Magdalena river valleys to the west and east, respectively.
Cordillera Central is home to the Eje cafetero region as well as several volcanoes, including the Nevado del Ruiz as well as the volcanoes Santa Isabel, Nevado del Huila, and Nevado del Tolima.
