Colombia part 1 - The only risk is wanting to stay


Colombia, the only risk is wanting to stay (Country)

Colombia lies at the crossroads of Latin America and the broader American continent, and as such has been hit by a wide range of cultural influences. Native American, Spanish and other European, African, American, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern influences, as well as other Latin American cultural influences, are all present in Colombia's modern culture. Urban migration, industrialization, globalization, and other political, social and economic changes have also left an impression.

Colombia part 4 - San Andres Island


San Andres Island - Colombia

San Andres Island, "The sea of seven colors." - Slideshow of This beautiful island of Colombia.

San Andrés (island) is a coral island among the Colombian islands in the Caribbean Sea; it is the largest island of the southern group of islands. Together with the nearby islands of Providencia and Santa Catalina (which, with some smaller islets and shoals, form the northern group of the Colombian archipelago), San Andrés forms the department of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina. The island's location in South America has been aptly described as "Geographically near Nicaragua, past historically tied to England, and politically part of Colombia."

San Andrés is the capital of the Colombian department of San Andrés y Providencia. It is situated at the north end of San Andrés Island. The population is considered to be about 20% Raizals and 80% mainland Colombians. The economy is mainly sustained by tourism and commercial fishing. Once a duty-free port, it still has a relatively vigorous shopping district selling various consumer goods at bargain prices, including Colombian gold and emerald jewellery, leather goods and other distinctively Colombian wares.
San Andres has become such a byword for bargain shopping in Colombia that many towns and cities have a bargain shopping area known as a San Andresito ("little San Andres").
