C O L O M B I A





     Many classmates had asked me:  If Colombia is Safe? And like we Colombians say “The only risk is to want to stay”.  Have a look:

    Colombia is located northwest of South America, is the fourth largest country in the region, bordered on the north waters of Honduras, Jamaica and Haiti, on the east by Venezuela and Brazil, south to Peru and Ecuador, to the west waters of Costa Rica and Panama, and northwestern Panama.

     Colombian territory is crossed from north to south through the great mountains of the Andes which is divided into three channels: Western, Central and Eastern . Almost 50% of the national area is covered by large rainforests.

     Colombia has one of the largest water reserves in the world, with countless species of animals and vegetables, mineral resources like coal, oil and emeralds.The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, where you can find thousands of different varieties of this beautiful flower.

     Colombia is a major producer of coffee worldwide; you can buy a cup of Colombian coffee in cities as diverse as London, Buenos Aires, Paris, Tokyo, Berlin and of course  Calgary .
