Highlights

Summary

Summary

Colombia is nestled in the north-west of South America and is bordered by Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. Dominated by the Andes, much of Colombia is mountainous; its mega biodiversity enriched by Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, Amazon rainforest and Llanos (plains). Though it lies in the tropics, Colombia’s wide altitudinal range creates complex climatic variation. Together, this range in habitats and climates, combined with untouched forests inaccessible for many years, makes Colombia one of the world’s top destinations for a herping tour.
