This nocturnal species is found near streams in primary and secondary undisturbed, humid montane forest (Acosta-Galvis and Gutierrez-Lamus 2012). Individuals have been found standing on low leaves (0.50–1.30 m) of Araceae, Melastomataceae and ferns. It is expected to reproduce by direct development, as with other congeners. This species is not tolerant to habitat disturbance and so anthropogenic impacts on the specific habitat of this species would be particularly detrimental.

This species is confined to the central region of the west flank of Cordillera Oriental in the Departments of Santander and Boyacá, Colombia. It is found between elevations of 1,700 and 2,400 m Asl (Acosta-Galvis and Gutierrez-Lamus 2012). The EOO of this species is 6,849 km² and it is considered to occur in three threat-defined locations.
