COLOMBIA
Colombia, land of opportunities
Our country, located in the heart of the American continent,
just north of the southern hemisphere, is characterized by its
colorful regions, the richness of nature, the kindness of the
biodiversity of fauna and flora species, as well as the mixture
of the mestizo, indigenous, black and white population,
which is recognized worldwide because of their happiness,
sympathy and informality.
A nation full of opportunities, whose economy has held
a steady growth, leader in Latin America for its industrial
variety and development, today it forges its future by the
hand of the world’s greatest powers that see in the country’s
qualities valuable options for the humanity.
A cozy territory, set by the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific
Ocean, bathed by countless rivers that create life to tenths
of greenish tones among mountains, valleys, plains and
savannahs, give answer about a corner in the world where
the variety and richness of its culture come together to say
Colombia is a land of opportunities.
