Information: Colombia is located in the northwest of South America. It is bordered by the Caribbean Sea, Panama, Venezuela, the Pacific Ocean and Ecuador. Until now, Colombia has been suffering internal problems that destabilize the country, caused by paramilitary groups like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the National Liberation Army (ELN - Spanish acronym), and since last years the United Self-Defense Groups of Colombia (AUC).
