Colombia



Hi everyone.

Today I want to introduce you my country Colombia.

Colombia is a country located in northwestern South America, bordered to the northwest by Panama; to the north by the Caribbean Sea; to the east by Venezuela and Brazil; to the south by Ecuador and Peru; and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. Colombia is the fourth largest country in South America after Brazil, Argentina and Peru. The country is divided into 32 departments and one capital city Bogotá. In addition to the capital city nine other cities have been designated districts. It is also home to the third-largest number of Spanish speakers in the world after Mexico, and Spain. Colombia is rich in natural resources, and its main exports include petroleum, coal, coffee and other agricultural produce, and gold. My country is also known as the world world's leading source of emeralds, while over 70% of cut flowers imported by the United States and Canada are Colombian. The principal trading partners are U.S.A., the European Union, China, and Venezuela. In Colombia of all sports played, the football is the most popular. It is widely regarded as an important event in both national and international games. Oftentimes, football has been considered to be 'sacred' in Colombia due to its passionate fans who rival even those of nations like Brazil and Argentina.

For many years serious internal armed conflict deterred tourists from visiting Colombia, with official travel advisories warning against travel to the country. However, in recent years numbers have risen sharply, thanks to improvements in security resulting from one strong politic strategy implemented in 2002, which included significant increases in military strength and police presence throughout the country and pushed rebel groups further away from the major cities, highways and tourist sites likely to attract international visitors. http://youtu.be/0me7t7wXKLwColombia is a beautiful country that everyone should visit at least one time in their life. So, everybody is welcome to my country!!

  3. You are a very kind person.

    In reference to my country, I have to say that you are welcome to Colombia whenever you want.

    I appreciate your comment and your interested in visit my country because Colombia has a lot of attractions to offer to tourist. There are many interesting cities to visit. For example, Cartagena, Santa Marta, Rioacha, Bogota, Medellin, and Bucaramanga. Nowadays, the country is a safer place to travel for pleasure or business. In the past, the colombian people suffered unpleasant or difficult situations due to the domestic war against drug cartels; therefore, now the colombian people is striving to be succesful and overcome the effects of the war.
