Colombia is a country in the northwestern part of South America, known for its mountains, rainforests, coffee, and rich cultural diversity. Its capital city is Bogotá.
The country’s name honors the explorer Christopher Columbus, whose name in Spanish is Cristóbal Colón. The Latinized form “Columbia” was used poetically for the Americas and later applied to the nation.
Although named after Columbus, Colombia’s culture is a blend of Indigenous, African, and European influences that long predate him. The country’s famous coffee and biodiversity make it a global hotspot for both flavor and life.
