Colombia is the third-most beautiful country in the world, says international study

Colombia has been named one of the most beautiful countries in the world by the prestigious magazine Forbes. The natural wealth with a great variety of landscapes, fauna, flora, etc. has earned Colombia third place in a list of fifty places worldwide.

In the latest study conducted by the website money.co.uk, countries were ranked according to the natural wonders they possess on their territory.

For the ranking, different characteristics were considered, such as coral reefs, islands, Unesco World Heritage Sites, rainforests, and others. In this way, each geographical area would receive a score out of 10 to determine the beauty of each nation.

Colombia met several requirements and received 7.16 out of 10 points on the natural beauty scale.

“Colombia has a long coastline. It also offers diverse landscapes, from the Amazon to the Andes,” Forbes said in its report, referring to the coffee-growing country’s ranking.

Although Indonesia and New Zealand rank first and second, respectively, Colombia tops the ranking in the Americas with third place, ahead of destinations such as Mexico (5), Ecuador (11), the United States (12), and Peru (18).

The number of natural wonders in each country was used to determine the ranking of the most beautiful countries. Colombia is home to the vast Amazon rainforest area, the Caño Cristales, the Cocora Valley, and the Chicamocha Gorge, among others.
