About Colombia
The Andes split into three ranges here before fading into Caribbean lowlands, giving the country coasts on two oceans and more bird species than any other. Emeralds from Muzo and Chivor have been mined since before the Spanish arrived. Flowers cut in the savanna around Bogotá reach American supermarkets within days.
