Hi

First of all it is spelled Colombia and not Columbia (not to sound rude or mean, but your project needs to have the right name!)

- Best coffee in the world.
- Emeralds
- Shakira
- Juanes
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Nobel Prize winner, Literature, famous for a book called 100 years of Solitude)
- Sadly drugs and guerrilla groups.

First of all, you might want to get the name right. It's COLOMBIA. Then you have coffee, suppossed to be the best in the world; it is the third biggest flower exporter; it has a nobel prize author called Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Shakira and Juanes are Colombian; and the country has an incredible geography like two oceans, tropical rainforests, deserts, and all the biomes in the world in one country. It is an amazing place.
