Zones coincide approximately with elevation-vegetation zones noted
in many parts of the world. The 11,000-foot zone marks the

(temperate land), and the tierra caliente (hot land). Plantation
crops such as cotton and banana are usually found in the tierra
caliente while coffee is found in the tierra templada.
