decentralized departments and the capital District of Bogota, seat of
the national government.

4. THE VIOLENCE

5. THE VIOLENCE
During the years 1946 and 1958, the country was plunged into a social and political crisis,
an era historically known as "La Violencia". It was characterized as a period of political
persecution,
civil war between liberals and conservatives, and is presumed to have caused more than
300,000 deaths.
Another problem was the displacement of thousands of peasants, who were traveling to the city
in search of security.
As a consequence, the country stopped being agrarian to become urban,
because in 1946 42% of the population of Colombia of that time lived in the city,
in 1959 this percentage rose to 53% and for 2005 this figure was of 74.3%. Historically,
the mostly agricultural displaced regions were purchased at low prices by industrialists of the
time.

6. BIODIVERSITY AND
ENVIRONMENT
Colombia has the largest number of
species per unit area on the planet, in
total it is the second most megadiverse
country in the world after Brazil, which
is more extensive than Colombia

7. globally, colombia owns half of the world's wetlands, making it one of the countries
with the most wetlands in the world, with 44.25% of the moorlands of south
america. the diversity in the country is the cause of the different ecosystems that
can be found throughout its territory. in chocó there is the highest percentage of
endemism in the world for a continental area, including for birds; but many endemic
species are in danger of extinction. it is estimated that in the colombian chocó are
from 8 to 9 thousand species of plants, of which a quarter are endemic. as for the
fauna, of the 56 species of amphibians, 47 are endemic. in the ecosystems of
heights is also relatively greater the biological diversity in the summits of the
eastern mountain range, that in the rest of the tropical mountains of the world; the
highest concentration of species of frailejón are found in the páramo of the russia,
near duitama, in the eastern mountain range.

Political Constitution of Colombia. The education system is covered
by Law 1098 of 2006, known as the Law of Early Childhood and

10. URBAN TRANSPORT
Urban mass transit systems were first developed in Bogotá and Medellín. The traffic
congestion in Bogotá has been aggravated by the lack of rail transportation. However,
this problem has been partially alleviated by the development of TransMilenio and a
vehicle restriction system based on the number of plates called Peak and Plate. Since
1995 Medellín has an urban railway known as the Medellín Metro, which connects most
of its metropolitan area. A tall cable car system, Metrocable, was added in 2004 to link
some of the poorer neighborhoods of the Medellín mountains with the Metro. At the end
of 2011, a system of articulated buses, called Metroplús began operating in Medellín. A
rapid transit bus system called Transmetro, similar to the TransMilenio in Bogota,
began operating in July 2010 in Barranquilla. Other cities that also have mass transit
systems are Pereira, (Megabús, since 2006), Bucaramanga (Metrolínea, since 2009) and
Cali (Integrated Massive of the West). At present, in Cartagena is being built a mass
transit system called Transcaribe.

11. AIRPORTS
The Colombian airport system has about 1 101 airports and aerodromes between
public and private, of which thirteen are international. The main air terminal of
the country is the El Dorado of Bogota, which with about 20 million passengers
transported per year is one of the most dynamic airports in Latin America. At
present it is in the process of expansion and modernization to adapt it to the new
demands of demand. The country is close to having a new international airfield
in the coming years, the International Coffee Airport, Aerocafé, located in the
population of Palestine, Caldas, which will serve Manizales, the capital. In
addition, it is expected that the airport Antonio Nariño de Pasto and El Caraño
de Quibdo, Chocó, will become international aerodromes.

12. MUSIC
Popular bamboo (early 20th century), cumbia (mid 20th century) and
vallenato (late 20th century, early 21st century) have been recognized
as national rhythms. The different genres of Colombian folk music
have been influenced by Spanish, Amerindian and African elements
who formed the country's ethnography.
The Colombian music is promoted mainly by the support of big record
companies, independent companies and in smaller scale by the
government of Colombia through the Ministry of Culture. In a
decentralized way, the National System of Culture, through the
National Council of Music, advises the Government on musical
themes and in representation of each of the six regions of the country.
