The Caribbean Region of Colombia detailed in the dark red area with territorial waters.
The Caribbean region of Colombia or Caribbean coast region is in the north of Colombia and is mainly composed of 8 departments located contiguous to the Caribbean.[1] It's the second most populated region in the country after Andean Region with approximately 11 million residents according to the Colombian Census 2018.[2] The area covers a total land area of 110,000 km2 (42,000 sq mi), including the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina in the Caribbean Sea.[1]
The Caribbean region coast extends from the Gulf of Urabá to the Gulf of Venezuela. Straddling the coast are Colombia's two main Atlantic port cities of Barranquilla and Cartagena.[3] The administration of the region is covered by 8 department governments: Atlántico, Bolívar, Cesar, Sucre, Córdoba, Magdalena, La Guajira and San Andrés and Providencia. These 8 departments also cover approximately 182 municipalities, 1093 corregimientos and 493 caserios according to the 2018 Census by DANE Colombia.[4] Most of its inhabitants speak a dialect of Caribbean Spanish with variations within its subregions.[5]
