Geography of Colombia
Colombia is bordered on the northwest by Panama, on the east by Venezuela and Brazil, and on the
southwest by Peru and Ecuador. Through the western half of the country, three Andean ranges run
north and south. The eastern half is a low, jungle covered plain, drained by spurs of the Amazon and
Orinoco Rivers, inhabited mostly by isolated tropical forest Indian tribes. The fertile plateau and valley of
the eastern range are the most densely populated parts of the country.

probably the country's best known export with musicians like Shakira, Carlos Vives, and Juanes.
