Bogota


Bogotas officially named Bogotá, D.C. ( D.C. for distrito capital). Bogotá is the capital city of Colombia. This city remains to be the largest and the most populated city in Colombia. The high altitude has also given it the position of the third highest major city in the world.
Colombia shares its borders with Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Panama.
It holds a position in the 17 most mega-diverse countries seen all over the world. This is because; the Colombian territory consists of highlands as well as rainforests and tropical grasslands!
Colombia’s tourism has been on the rise since the 1940s. This place is known for certain festivals such as the Festival of Flowers or the Vallenato Lefend Festival that draws hordes of tourists every year.
Here’s yet another interesting fact about Colombia- this country does not have any particular seasons, which is solely due to the fact that it lies close to the equator. Colombia enjoys sunlight all through the year. You can experience the tropical heat on the coasts or even the snowfall in the mountainous areas.
Did you know around 12% of the world’s coffee is produced in Colombia?
Bogotá’s airport in Colombia is the largest and also the most expensive in Latin America.
Colombia is known for the diverse population seen here. This is because of the rich history, which has resulted in a mixed population since the ancient days.
The concept for the flag of Colombia was adopted on November 26, in the year 1861. This flag consists of 3 horizontal stripes in yellow, blue and red color. Yellow represents the federation of Greater Colombia, blue represents independence from Spain where as red represents courage. Although the flag of Greater Colombia underwent many changes, the original horizontal tricolor stripes were finally adopted in the year 1861.Here’s one more interesting fact about Colombia- it is formed by two territorial zones- one that submerged in the Pacific ocean as well as the Caribbean sea and the other remains to be the emerged land - the Andes mountain range and the Llanos plain.http://www.buzzle.com/articles/interesting-facts-about-colombia.html
