Villavicencio's air quality reflects the flat Colombian Llanos Orientales Meta River position at 467 metres at the Eastern Cordillera base, with vehicle density and the oil industry, agricultural, and services corridor generating elevated PM2.5. The surrounding Andes piedmont creates topographic variation, while the tropical wet season's convective rain provides periodic cleansing and Villavicencio generally maintains moderate Colombian Llanos oil capital readings throughout most of the year.
