Colombia’s weather climates differs greatly.  El clima de Colombia difiere considerablemente. The natives enjoy sunlight all year around, but it has no seasons; rather a dry and rainy period. Bogota, the capital of Columbia is in tropical highlands; therefore it can get quite chilly at night but around the coasts, it is sweltering. Although it straddles the equator; making the mistake of leaving the proper attire behind can be costly.

The drug culture stereotypes are false and offensive. Medellín, Colombia fue acuñado un paraíso de gangsters.

A very silly but common mistake, but now a fact for me; Colombia is spelled with an O not an U. Colombia is in South America and it is positioned at its northern tip. It borders the Caribbean Sea between Panama and Venezuela and it borders the Northern Pacific Ocean between Ecuador and Panama. Coffee plantations, urban centres located in the highlands of the Andes Mountains, the Amazon rainforests, tropical grasslands and both Caribbean and Pacific coastlines are a few of the many things that can be found there. Colombia is the most ethically and linguistically diverse countries in the world and possess a rich cultural heritage.
