Colombia produces the best coffee of the world. the coffee is cultivated in small mountainous properties. the production is family and done in a craft way what guarantees the excellent quality of the product. It is different from the coffee produced in Brazil that is the largest world producer, they put has high mechanization degree that guarantees great production.
Colombia also has a lineage of name horses "PASO FINO" that is a presentation horse with a very refined gallop. and also due to its soft trot it is very suitable for the work in the crop of the Coffee.

Well yes, Colombia is the world's largest coca cultivator. Just as the US, UK or Germany are the world's largest drug consumers. But that doesn't mean there isn't anything interesting to say about any of those countries.

You could talk about how Colombia's biodiversity. It has 10% of all species in the world, the highest rate of endemisms (species that aren't found anywhere else) and the second most bio-diverse country in the world, after Brazil (which is impressive, since Brazil's total area is about 7 times larger than Colombia's).

You could talk about its culture, too. It holds the Ibero-American Theater Festival, the largest in the world. It's held every two years, and invites groups from over 40 countries. Many of its activities are free for the public.

Hope it helps.
