A cordillera is an extensive chain of mountains or mountain ranges. The term is borrowed from a Spanish word with the same meaning that itself comes from cordilla, a diminutive of "cuerda" ("rope")

Such mountain ranges have a complex structure, which is usually the result of folding and faulting accompanied by volcanic activity. In South America, the ranges include numerous volcanic peaks. The Andes cordillera has Ojos del Salado, the highest active volcano in the world and second-highest point in the Western Hemisphere. (Though not itself a volcano, Argentina's Mount Aconcagua, at 6,960 m, at (22,834 ft), is the highest point in the Western Hemisphere.) Some of the volcanoes have been active in historical times.

Aside from the volcanic peaks, the crests include many narrow ridges, some of which reach into the zone of permanent snow. Between the ranges are numerous inhabited valleys, basins, and low plateaux, with a wide range of elevations.
