the Andes
Peaks through seven nations
The Andes is the mountain range running along the western edge of South America, stretching from Venezuela to Chile—the longest continental mountain range in the world.
The range defines the geography and climate of the continent's Pacific coast: villages high in the Andes, Andean condors.
The adjective is Andean.
