Region caribe

The Caribbean Region spans 110,000 square kilometers along Colombia's northern coast, from the Gulf of Uraba to the Gulf of Venezuela.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, the region received numerous European immigrants from Lebanon, Italy, Spain, Germany, and other countries seeking new opportunities.

The region contains three main ethnic groups: indigenous peoples like Wayuu and Arhuaco, Afro-Colombians concentrated near Cartagena, and descendants of European settlers.

Eight departments form this region: Atlantico, Bolivar, Cesar, Sucre, Cordoba, Magdalena, La Guajira, and San Andres y Providencia, containing 182 municipalities.

The Caribbean Region leads Colombia's music scene with cumbia and vallenato rhythms, while baseball maintains popularity unlike other parts of the country.
