Colombia Geographic Regions
Geographers have devised different ways to divide
Colombia into
regions. It is most appropriate to divide the country into
four
geographic regions: the Andean highlands, consisting of
the three
Andean ranges and intervening valley lowlands; the
Caribbean
lowlands coastal region; the Pacific lowlands coastal
region,
separated from the Caribbean lowlands by swamps at the
base of the
Isthmus of Panama; and eastern Colombia, the great plain
that lies
to the east of the Andes Mountains.
