This is roughly the size of Spain, France, and Portugal together. It is also the only South American country whose lands touch both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. It is 45% mountainous, with grassy savannas and tropical rain forests. Colombia also has a population of 37,422,791. The capital is Bogota, which has a population of 4,500,000.
