There are
few countries that can boast such a variety of natural and cultural resources
as Colombia: white, sandy beaches, hills, snow-capped mountains, unending
plains, jungle, exotic and lush vegetation, archeological sites, modern
cities and peaceful colonial-style villages which seem to be suspended
in time. And then there are of course, its people, warm and friendly
Colombia is the fourth largest country in South America, occupying 440,831
square miles. Its area is larger than New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana
combined. In terms of natural geography, Colombia is the only country
in South America with coast lines on both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Boasting more rivers and streams than any other nation in the world, it
ranks fifth in hydrological resources. Colombia's natural beauty is further
enhanced by three large mountain ranges (the Andean chain) that run north
and south through the western half of the country.
The Colombian Folkloric Ballet invites you to visit Colombia, to travel
to its most beautiful corners, get to know its folklore and its people,
and try its local dishes and aromatic coffee.
