Colombia

Colombia is considered one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, due to its geographic location: landscapes range from the Amazon in the south, to the Andes in the middle zone, to the valleys and coasts of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The country has over 44 million inhabitants, of which almost 2 million identify themselves as indigenous and almost 3 million as black, Afro-Colombian, Raizal or Palenquero (NARP - acronym in Spanish)
