Location

It is one of the broadest mountains along the length of South America in the west coast, and nearly the length of seven thousand and one hundred kilometers, the width mountains stretching amounts to five hundred kilometers, and an average elevation of four kilometers.

 Geographic series

 Divided Andean mountain ranges into three regions or natural areas, namely: the Southern Region, the Central Region and the Northern Region, and is the southern mountains are lower altitudes, amounts to high southern Andes rate of less than three kilometers (or 3,000 meters), located these mountains near the party continental South.
