Option 1 : Andes
The longest continental mountain range in the world is the Andes and it forms a continuous highland along the western edge of South America.
• This range is about 7,000 km (4,300 mi) long, about 200 to 700 km (120 to 430 mi) wide (widest between 18° south and 20° south latitude), and of an average height of about 4,000 m (13,000 ft).
• The Andes extend from north to south through seven South American countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.
• The Andes is the location of several high plateaus - some of which host major cities such as Quito, Bogotá, Arequipa, Medellín, Sucre, Mérida and La Paz.
