Where are Colombia’s largest coal deposits located?

Colombia’s largest coal deposits are located in the department of La Guajira. These fields, known as the Cerrejón deposits, are the largest in all of northern South America. While coal is also mined within the Andean region to supply local markets, the primary focus of national production is centered on these extensive deposits in La Guajira, which are linked by rail to a modern port at the end of the peninsula.12
