The insular region of Colombia includes the oceanic islands outside the continental territory. In the
Caribbean this includes the San Andrés and Providencia islands near Central America and the many
coastal islands along mainland Colombia. In the Pacific, it includes Gorgona Island and Malpelo
Island. The ecosystems and wildlife found on these islands are the same as those found on their
adjacent mainland areas. For example, the terrestrial habitat on Gorgona Island is tropical
rainforest, similar to what is found in the Pacific lowlands of mainland Colombia.
