The Caribbean region,
also known as the
Caribbean Sea, is a
geographic area that
encompasses numerous
islands, archipelagos, and
coasts of Central and
South America.
The Caribbean region extends
from the northeast of the Gulf
of Uraba to the Guajira
Peninsula, and from the
foothills of the Western and
Central cordilleras to the
Beaches of the caribbean sea.
It is a flat region, crossed by
numerous rivers and swamps. It
has the closest snow-capped
mountains to the sea in the
world. The Sierra Nevada de
Santa Marta is a mountainous
area with a great climatic and
natural diversity, where we find
the highest peaks of the
country.
The departments of the Caribbean
region are La Guajira, Bolívar,
Atlántico, Cesar, Magdalena, Sucre,
Córdoba, Santander and Antioquia.

The Caribbean region is a very

diverse region, offering much in
terms of culture, biodiversity and
tourism opportunities.
