In September 2008 we registered the frog Geobatrachus walkeri at ~ 3500 m elevation in the Sierra Nevada deSanta Marta, an isolated mountain range in the Caribbean Colombian, South America. Our record expands the knowledge ofthe altitudinal distribution of this species on 700 m and constitutes the first observation in páramo habitat.
