COLOMBIA'S GEOGRAPHY 

Introduction

Here we are creating a website to understand better Colombia. I was born in Colombia and lived for 8 years there.  
I am very "nationalistic", at least I used to think that. It was not until I was creating the first page of this website when I realized I really do not know much about my homeland.
I really hope this website helps others acquired some important general information of Colombia as much as it had help me.
