The Central American country of Colombia is uniquely situated in a geographical region where several ecological niches meet. The Amazon basin with lush forests, the Andes mountain rages, Pacific Ocean and Caribbean sea coastline, an endless Llanos plains, and temperate climate makes it a unique bird migratory pathway. There are three cordilleras as they are called, that comprise the country, viz., the Western Andes range, the Central Andes range and, the East Andes range. There is also the separate Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range that is not part of any other ranges. The country has four regions such as Paramo (highest moorland), cloud forests, tropical rainforest and the Llanos (savanna lowlands). A vast number of water courses drains from the Andes mountains flowing eastwards. The two main rivers Magdalena and Cauca flow through wetlands that are abundant in biodiversity.
