Andean Colombia

Region

The three ranges of the Andes, where most Colombians live. Bogotá has La Candelaria and the Gold Museum, Medellín is a spring-like city of cable cars and nightlife, and the Coffee Triangle has fincas, Salento and the wax palms of Cocora. Colonial Villa de Leyva, Barichara and the canyon of Chicamocha are in the northeast, and San Agustín's statues are in the south.
