Spanning the western length of Colombia, the Chocó region is rich with biodiversity. It is the wettest place on earth and the only country in South America to be bathed by both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The rainforests, isolated by the Andes, host a habitat of unique, endemic and yet-to-be discovered species.
In the middle of Colombia, lies an unique and little explored outcrop of sandstone; the Serrania de la Macarena. It forms part of the country's first ever national park where more than 15 million specimens were found.
Chiribiquete is an unknown world, hidden deep within Colombia's Amazon. Pre-historic towers, waterfalls and deep canyons lie surrounded by rivers, lakes and rainforests bursting with life. Scientists have only guessed at what else lies beneath this impenetrable pristine jungle - until now.

The very word Colombia conjures up certain expectations: the exotic, the lawless, and the dangerous. The truth is that despite its relatively small size, Colombia is the second most biologically diverse country on Earth, home to about 14 percent of the world's species. Colombia has more species of bird and vertebrates than anywhere else on Earth. All have adapted to life in a bewildering array of habitats.
Crowning South America, Colombia touches both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans. Sitting on the equator, this wild and exotic land is divided by the soaring peaks of the Andes, and carved by the mighty Amazon and Orinoco Rivers. Colombia's landscapes are vast and hugely diverse. Mangroves meander through grasslands, while expanses of mirror-like wetlands fringe verdant rainforests. Snow-capped peaks emerge from mountain slopes clad in misty cloud forests. This mix of pristine environments supports an enormous wealth of unique plants, as well as an extraordinary array of spectacular creatures.
Colombia is truly unique. A magical land of wildly diverse landscapes where mirror-like wetlands fringe verdant rainforests, mangroves meander through vast grasslands and snow-capped mountain peaks emerge from misty, jungle-clad slopes. Its shores are washed by the waters of both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The soaring peaks of the Andes carve through its length like a great backbone. Making it home to a staggering variety of wildlife; an evolutionary paradise and one of the most bio-diverse countries on earth.
