The Caribbean coast has a drier season between Dec-Mar. Colombia's interior is mountainous, where temperatures are governed by altitude and the tallest peaks are snow covered for most of the year. Bogota, which is at middle altitude, has a pleasant climate with no extremes, warm days and cool nights. Rain can fall at any time but tends to be heavier in western ranges.
