volcano. It's for some people the laughing stock of Colombia (for historical reasons). Was the last Department to declare independence from the Spaniards, and originally a Royalist bastion, and has some of the [[ForeignQueasine strangest cuisine]] in Colombia. Its capital is Pasto and their adjective is Pastusos.
** Norte de Santander (NorthSantander)
Santander): [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The north of the original Sovereign State of Santander, its capital is Cúcuta, and they're also known as "toches", because they employ that word for lots of applications. North Santander is famous for the Hayacas, which are smaller tamales, and hail from Venezuela and the Sierra of Perijá. The binational commerce is the main economy activity for this Department.
**Quindío
Quindío: Another of the Departments belonging to the Coffee Axis, has also the National Park of the Coffee and Panaca, touristical attractions based on Coffee as not only a delicious drink but a main sustenance for not only the families involved with it also for the country. Its capital is Armenia. [[NamesTheSame Not that Armenia in Europe.]]
**Risaralda
Risaralda: Yet another of the Departments belonging to the Coffee Axis. Its capital is Pereira and besides the coffee, is famous for being home of some of the most beautiful women in Colombia (more info on Colombian Women)
**SantanderSantander: The south part of the original Sovereign State of Santander, also known as "pingos", because they use the word "pingo" for a lot of situations. Except on some cities, like Barrancabermeja, which has a mixture of American, French, Dutch, Caribbean and of course Santanderean descent. The mentioned city has one of the two Oil Refineries of the country, and is known as "Colombia's Oil Capital", or also "The Warm Hug of Colombia", because of the toppling heat. Its capital is Bucaramanga, which is famous for being an entire Metropolitan Zone, formed by the municipalities of Floridablanca, Bucaramanga and Girón. Another cities of interest are Vélez (land of the Guava Bocadillo, a candy made of guava), Lebrija (land of the Pineapples), Barichara (the White City, holding one of the oldest structures known in Colombia since the Colonial age)

Manizales. Curiosly, in Caldas (and in the rest of the Coffee Axis), there's a time to take coffee --almost as the British Spot of Tea.
**Cauca
Cauca: Originally the largest Department in Colombia, its capitol is Popayán, also called the Major City. Some of the oldest, classy and most powerful families from Colombia hail from here, and Popayán's Semana Santa (Holy Week) is one of the most beautiful celebrations in the entire world
**Cundinamarca
Cundinamarca: Originally the Department that hosted the old Municipality of Bogotá (now the D.C., see more below), has quite a variety of climates (from the cold on the Sabana of Bogotá to the heat in the High Magdalena) and also an even bigger variety of places to visit. Its most famous cities are Fusagasugá (the Garden City), Facatativá, Girardot (with Melgar and Ricaurte form a City-Region which is an important motor for tourism), Soacha, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) city not being a department capital, and much more (really, there are A LOT)
*** Bogotá, D.C.
C.: Simply to say, The South American Athens, The Colombian Metropolis, and seat of all the political power in Colombia, originally was a city in Cundinamarca but its special legislation as a District allows it to be managed as a Department. Most people from the rest of Colombia calls this city "the Freezer", because of the shivering cold --for Colombian standards, go figure.
**Huila
Huila: Home, with Tolima of the San Juanero and the San Pedro Fairs, which are exactly that, fairs where people dances, plays music, eat tamales and simply enjoy the party. Quite fun, but sometimes [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed by the Barranquilla Carnival]]. Its capital is Neiva.

Currently led by Juan Manuel Santos, the state is a stable pro-American democracy and usually faces tensions with his neighbours because of this. The ongoing conflict with FARC has greatly diminished thanks to strong military response from Uribe's (former president) goverment, and FARC has gone from being an irregular army to little more than a criminal threat. Unfortunately, many of those in FARC take cover in neighbouring countries with "affinity" to its "ideology" (in theory communism, but in RealLife they just kidnap people and hold them for ransom like any other criminal group).
