Colombia

About Colombia

Colombia anchors the northwestern corner of South America, where the Andes fan out into three separate ranges before descending to Caribbean beaches, Pacific rainforest, Amazon jungle, and the vast Llanos grasslands. Its capital, Bogotá, sits on a high Andean plateau some 2,600 metres above sea level. Renowned for coffee, emeralds, and staggering biodiversity, Colombia is a country of dramatic contrasts.

• ·Colombia is the only South American country with coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
• ·Colombia is named after Christopher Columbus, even though the explorer never set foot on its territory.
• ·Colombia is home to more bird species than any other country on Earth.
