Where is Colombia?

How to spot Colombia from satellite imagery

Western Colombia has several Andean ranges separated by valleys. Lower ground extends east towards the Orinoco and Amazon basins. The country reaches both the Caribbean and Pacific, so a coastline in a Colombian image may have a very different setting depending on which side you see.

Trace the Magdalena valley between mountain belts, then compare it with the lowlands east of the Andes. Notice how the river network changes with the relief.
