Colombian national parks

Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet, yet many ecotourists don't consider it when making travel plans. That's a mistake because the country has spectacular scenery that varies widely across it's breadth. It has craggy mountain peaks in the Andean highlands, it has dense tropical jungles in the Amazon basin, it has both sandy and rocky shorelines along the southern Caribbean coast and the Pacific Ocean. With its position on a major migratory bird flyway it sees birds from both the southern and northern hemispheres. All of these different ecosystems can be found in Colombia's national parks, which together, conserve 14% of Colombia's national territory.
