He tropical rainforest or equatorial It covers areas such as the central and northern Amazon, the entire Pacific region, parts of Antioquia, western Santander, Boyacá and Cundinamarca, the Catatumbo region and the foothills of the Amazon. During this time he tropical rainforest or monsoon it reaches the foothills of the plains and the extreme south of the Caribbean region.
