The city of Bogota is hemmed in by peaks in the Eastern Ranges of the Andes mountains. Suburbs extend up the slopes but not quite to the top. Most of the city sits on a high plateau below the peaks. The city sits at an elevation of 2,640 meters (8,660 feet) above sea level, making it the third highest capital city in South America after Quito and La Paz.
