There are five major natural regions in Colombia:

- The Caribbean region (lowland coastal region)
- The Pacific region (lowland coastal region)
- The Orinoquia region (eastern plains)

The Caribbean and Pacific regions are separated by an area of low-lying swamps and marshes along the Panamanian border.
