Colombia has long been plagued by negative stereotypes and a troubled past, but the reality is changing dramatically. The country's murder rate is now about a third of what it was in the early '90s, and kidnappings have dropped by over 92 percent since the year 2000. Beyond safety improvements, Colombia is preserving its rich biodiversity, has become a global leader in innovation, excelling in its coffee industry, and may be on the verge of spreading its vibrant culture and influence across the globe.
