Colombia
Located just south of Panama, the Republic of Colombia is one of the most fascinating countries in Latin America. With a geography ranging from the snow-capped Alto de Cocuy to the Amazon rain forest; and the desert of Guajira, and a population composed of whites, blacks, native Americans and mestizos, Colombia is a miniature world in itself. BLACFOUNDATION interest is focussed on the Black and Indigenous populations of the Chocó, as well as other Black populations of the Caribbean and Pacific coasts.
