The parámo is a particular climatic area found at certain heights in the Andes in Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. These humid areas are characterized by enormous plants called "frailejones" because they resemble the figure of a friar. The peculiarity of these plants with a unique appearance is that they are able to retain the humidity in the air and transfer it underground.
