Columbia is associated exclusively with the notorious “white”, although in fact this bright country plays with all the colors of the rainbow. The streets of cities and the clothes of local residents of the variegation are to match the state flag. And even the sights of Colombia can be visited according to the mnemonic rule “Every hunter wants to know …”. Today we have made a list of the most colorful places in Colombia.
I want to in Columbia!
Red
The brightest red color in Colombia belongs to coffee beans. Colombia is the second exporter of the Arabica variety in the world, in 2002, a total of 852 thousand tons of coffee was produced here. Plantations are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and occupy almost the entire mountain territory of the country, stretching from 72 ° to 78 ° North latitude. Tourists are invited to the so -called coffee tours, during which you can stop in a local village and thoroughly study the entire process of coffee production: to independently collect grains, fry them, grind and brew!

Orange
The Tatacoa desert is located in the center of the country and occupies a huge territory of 330 square kilometers. Tatacoa looks like another planet-bright orange stones with rare green strokes of cacti contrast perfectly with the blue sky. At night, the terrain is transformed in the light of the moon, showing rare visitors a cold silver landscape. It is especially recommended to visit the desert in the new moon, when the myriads of bright stars of all constellations and the Milky Way are perfectly visible in the sky.
Yellow
In the yellow color in Colombia, a metal tint is gold. In the Old District of the La-Kandelia of the city of Bogota, there is a museum with a unique, the largest gold exposition in the world; About 36 thousand products are represented here, the age of which has crossed the 500-year line. The fact is that the ancient Indians who lived in this region considered gold to be sacred metal, collecting the energy of the sun, so it was extracted in large quantities and used in everyday life and for sacred rites. Most of the collection was raised from the bottom of Lake Guatavita, where it went as a sacrifice to the gods.
Green
In general, all Columbia is painted green-national natural parks are adjacent to impassable jungle, smoothly flowing into high-mountain plantations. However, there is a noble green in the country, which stands out against the general background. The largest and most pure emeralds in the world are mined in the region of a muse located 100 kilometers from Bogota; 55% of all stones in the world market is from Colombia. The prices for jewelry here are naturally quite tolerable, so decoration with an emerald is the best souvenir from Columbia. You can even try to get your own precious pebble in the river flowing from the mines. It is muddy, but sometimes it carries small but valuable fragments in its waters, so many local residents who are not engaged in mines and agriculture use this river as a source of modest income.
Blue
In the Caribbean there is a group of small islands of San Andres-i-Providence. The islands are much closer to Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but belong to Colombia. The waters washing these islands are called the sea of seven flowers, because from the side of the plane the gaze opens the surface that shimmers with all the shades: from light blue to lilac. The underwater world off the coast of San Andres and Providence attracts divers from around the world: 85 species of corals are growing here. The organization for the preservation of the oceans includes an archipelago in a list of six key regions of the health of the planet. In addition, San Andres-I-Providenia is a great place to make coutor and windsurfing, swimming and leisurely beach holidays.

Blue
The blue haze envelops the mountain ridge of Sierra-Nevada de Santa-Marta, located only 42 kilometers from the coast of the Caribbean. On the tops of the mountains are eternal snow and glaciers, in which the blue sky is reflected. The highest point of Colombia is the peak of Mount Crystobal-Colon, towering 5780 m above sea level. In the pre -Columbian times, a developed civilization of Tyrone lived on the slopes of the mountains. Nowadays, the Archaeological Park “Lost City” has been arranged in the highland forests, where traces of ancient culture have been preserved: houses, bridges, channels and terraces.

Violet
In the Stone Gorge in the center of Columbia, there is a unique Canyo-Cristales river, also known as the “River of five colors” or “Liquid rainbow”. Its water has a bluish tint, the bottom is mainly sandy, yellow with interspersed with green algae, and during the year, thanks to them, the river changes color. In the most bright red-violet tint, it is painted from September to November, when macarenia clavigera algae is especially actively growing. Caano-Christmles can be safely called the most beautiful river in the world, but you need to come in the autumn months, since the rest of the year it differs little from other rivers.
