Panoramic view of the southwestern sector of the Santander Massif (Piedecuesta-Aratoca road). On the left margin of the image, the High Pressure Ridge stands out (located at the termination point of the road curve in the center of the photo). On the right margin of the image, a faceted spur with a hook-shaped flexure can be observed, formed by the right-lateral movement of an antithetic fault associated with the Bucaramanga Fault. In the foreground, an shutter ridge diverts the courses of the Umpalá and Manco rivers.
