Who is Andes Mountains?

The Andes Mountains are like a giant staircase that runs along the side of South America.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks, each block is a mountain, and together they make a long line going from one end of your room to another. That's what the Andes Mountains look like, but instead of being in a room, they stretch across many countries, like Chile, Peru, and Bolivia.

The Andes Mountains are really tall, some parts are as high as a 20-story building! If you were to walk from one end of the Andes Mountains to the other, it would take you days or even weeks. That's like walking across your whole neighborhood, but much bigger!

The Andes Mountains help shape the lives of people who live near them. They give water to rivers, hide animals in their valleys, and even affect how warm or cold it gets where people live.

Think of them as a big, natural playground, full of surprises and wonder!
