Study Notes

Orografía del Perú II

  • The Andean region is a mountainous natural region of Peru, shaped by the central Andes mountain range.
  • Starting from the Pacific coast, the terrain progressively rises eastward.
  • At 500 masl, the Coastal or Chala region ends, and the Andean region (sierra) begins.
  • The elevation varies significantly.
  • The transition from the lowland Amazon to the Andes is gradual.
  • The Andes cross from the eastern border, descending westward and ascending gradually.
  • The transition from Selva Alta to the Andean region (sierra), happens at 1000 masl.

Geographical Regions of Peru

  • Coastal/Chala: Lies between 0 to 500 masl.
  • Andean/Sierra: Located at 500 masl and higher.
  • Amazonian/Selva: Situated between 80 to 400 masl
  • Selva Alta: Between 400 and 1000 masl
  • Selva Baja: Between 80 and 400 masl

Andean Regions by Altitude

  • Janca: 4,800+ meters above sea level
  • Puna: 4,000-4,800 meters above sea level
  • Suni: 3,500-4,000 meters above sea level
  • Quechua: 2,300-3,500 meters above sea level
  • Yunga: Located between 500-2300 meters above sea level
  • Chala (or Coastal): Located between 0-500 meters above sea level
  • Selva Alta: 400-1000 meters above sea level
  • Selva Baja: 83–400 meters above sea level

Andean Sectors and Ridges

  • Each sector has multiple mountain ranges (e.g. Occidental, Central, Oriental).
