Colombia, officially the Republic
of Colombia, is a transcontinental country largely situated in the northwest of
South America, with territories in Central America. Colombia shares a border to
the northwest with Panama, to the east with Venezuela and Brazil, to the south
with Ecuador and Peru. It shares its maritime limits with Costa Rica,
Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti. It is a
unitary, constitutional republic comprising thirty-two departments. The
territory of what is now Colombia was originally inhabited by indigenous
peoples including the Muisca, Quimbaya, and Tairona.
Colombian territory also
encompasses Amazon rainforest, tropical grassland and both Caribbean and
Pacific coastlines. Ecologically, it is one of the world's 17 megadiverse
countries, and the most densely biodiverse of these per square kilometer.
Colombia is a middle power and a regional actor with the fourth largest economy
in Latin America, is part of the CIVETS group of six leading emerging markets
and is an accessing member to the OECD. Colombia has a diversified economy with
macroeconomic stability and favorable growth prospects in the long run.

Tourism in Colombia is an important sector in the country's
economy. Colombia has major attractions as a tourist destination, such as
Cartagena and its historic surroundings, which are on the UNESCO World Heritage
List; the insular department of San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina; and
Santa Marta and the surrounding area.
The coffee region is also a very
popular destination, especially the city of Armenia and its surroundings.
Fairly recently, Bogotá, the nation's capital, has become Colombia's major
tourist destination because of its improved museums and entertainment
facilities and its major urban renovations, including the rehabilitation of
public areas, the development of parks, and the creation of an extensive
network of cycling routes.
With its very rich and varied
geography, which includes the Amazon and Andean regions, the llanos, the
Caribbean and Pacific coasts, and the deserts of La Guajira, and its unique
biodiversity, Colombia also has major potential for ecotourism.
