Pico Simon Bolivar

Pico Simon Bolivar is the next name on the list of the highest mountains in Colombia. Pico Simon Bolivar is named after Simon Bolivar, a revolutionary hero. The Sierra Nevada National Park contains Pico Simon Bolivar. With an estimated height of 5,730 meters, Pico Simón Bolvar is Colombia's second tallest peak (18,800 ft). Pico Bolvar and Pico Cristóbal Colón, Colombia's two tallest summits, are virtually identical in elevation. Along with Pico Cristóbal Colón, it is part of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range.

Wood, A. Bakerwell, and E. Praolini were the first to climb Pico Simon Bolvar in 1939. Due to hostile tribes, narcotraficantes, and FARC guerillas, access to these highlands became extremely difficult after the early 1990s. An expedition that reached the peak of Pico Cristóbal Colón in 2015 was one of the first in the range in many years.
