Meta
Meta is a department located in the center of Colombia, stretching from the Andes in the west to the vast plains of Los Llanos. The capital, Villavicencio, rises between hills and plains in the northwest. It stands out for its parks, the joropo dance, and the sport of coleo. The nineteenth-century cathedral of Our Lady of Carmen is located in the central Los Libertadores park. To the south is Caño Cristales, a river full of lush aquatic plants.
