Páramo is a unique, high-altitude ecosystem located only in the Andes of Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia, along with a few small areas in Central America. Páramo is found above timberline (~10,000 feet) and below the snow line (~16,000 feet} with average rainfall at about 80 inches per year. Some observers have likened páramo to “islands of grasslands and shrubs surrounded by a sea of cloud forest lower down.”
