The range is over 7‚000 km (4‚300 mi) long‚ 200 km (120 mi) to 700 km (430 mi) wide (widest between 18° to 20°S latitude)‚ and of an average height of about 4‚000 m (13‚000 ft). Over its length the Andean range is at several locations split into several ranges‚ often two great ranges‚ named Cordillera Oriental and the Cordillera Occidental‚ often separated by an intermediatedepression
