Let's get to know the countries in Central and South America - Colombia

Colombia | 5 little-known facts you may not know If your impression of Colombia is still "drug lords" and "dangerous", Then you are really OUT! 👇After reading these little-known facts, your perspectives will be refreshed! ① Colombia is one of the earliest democratic constitutional countries in South America As early as 1810, it declared independence and established a republic. In fact, it is very "advanced" in terms of political system, legal system and electoral mechanism. Don't be fooled by movies and TV shows, this is not the real world of drug lords. ② The world’s most beautiful “Rainbow River” is in Colombia [Cano Cristalles River], due to the color change of algae at the bottom, the water presents a colorful color of pink + green + blue + yellow from May to November every year. It is also known as the "flowing rainbow" and the "river from heaven". ③ Colombians love to dance, and everyone knows salsa In Medellin and Cali, residents can be seen dancing in the streets at night. 🎵When the music starts, everyone can dance to the rhythm. Want to make friends? You just need to nod your head and take a basic step. ④ Colombia is the "Emerald Kingdom" 90% of the world's high-quality emeralds come from Colombia. The emeralds here are considered to be the purest in color and the best in cut. Bogota and Supata markets are both great places to buy raw ore/jewelry. ⑤ Colombia is the kingdom of coffee, but locals only drink “cheap small cups” The global export of specialty coffee beans accounts for more than 10%. But the "tinto" that locals drink on a daily basis is just a small cup of hot drink with black coffee and sugar. The boutique coffee experience is more oriented towards tourists, and the "place of origin is the travel destination."
