It is a wonderful place full of life, Colonial architecture, modern architecture, full of colours, flavors, animals, unmistakable beautiful women, good people, people who radiate happiness with the rhythm of our music. We also are considered among the happiest people in the world.

Nooks full of splendor and beauty that have a great dose of mystery, a land with an accelerated proud to live in a country that has absolutely everything.

I am very proud to be Colombian, I am proud of our artists such as Shakira and Juanes; Grammy award winners, who have been delighting with their music to the world and they have improved the image of our country.

I am proud of our sculptors such as Fernando Botero, whose art works are exhibited in the museums of the world and who imposed a unique style in their works about the fat, which means that he use an exaggerated proportions and the corpulence of the human and animal figures.

I am proud of our writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. "Best-known for his novels, such as "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera", popularizing a literary style labelled as magical realism.

We have people prominent in sports such as Pibe Valderrama; a soccer player and Juan Pablo Montoya; our formula one driver.
