Tourism in Antioquia
Antioquia presents a significant geographical diversity as it combines all the elements of Colombian geography: sea, plains, mountains, plateaus, moors, rivers, marshes, and forests.
The department is located in the northwestern area of Colombia, extending from the Atrato River in the west to the Magdalena River in the east, with a coastal strip on the Gulf of Urabá. Its coastal boundaries measure approximately 220 kilometers, making the department the second in the country in terms of coastline length on the Caribbean Sea, after La Guajira.
It is crossed by two branches of the Andes mountain range, the Western and Central ranges. The Western range is located between the Atrato River and the Cauca River, with heights reaching 4,050 masl in two moors (Citará cliffs and Urrao moor), and the Central range between the Cauca River and the Magdalena River, with slightly lower heights (Sonsón and Belmira moors).
