Blue, one of the colors of the Colombian flag, symbolizes the sky, the rivers and the two oceans that border the country's coasts. Blue represents beauty, but also prosperity. It is the color of the salt cathedral in the small town of Zipaquirá and of the traditional costume of the Guambianos and it is a symbol of resistance against the Western world. But it is also the color of a very special museum, the MuMar, which is located at a depth of twenty meters in the bay of San Andrés, also known as the sea of the seven colors.
Yellow dominates the Colombian flag. The color represents gold, the original wealth of the country, but also justice and the unity of the nation. In the Museo del Oro in Bogotá you will find the world's largest collection of gold objects. Feast your eyes on the traditional preparation of panela, admire the dazzling ocher arches of Las Bóvedas in Cartagena and the golden dunes of Taroa that accentuate the blue of the sea.
The color red bursts from the Colombian flag and is a tribute to the blood that was shed to liberate the country from the Spanish occupier. It is also the color of love, strength and progress. Discover Caño Cristales, also known as the river that escaped from paradise, the small ravines of the Tatacoa Desert and the red-orange tones of the pottery of Ráquira. Move to the rhythm of the salsa dancers in Cali and spot flamingos in the Los Flamencos Nature Reserve, a national park dedicated to the protection of the Caribbean's pink birds.
