Which parts of Colombia receive tropical rainforest rainfall?

In Colombia, the tropical rainforest climate—characterized by high temperatures and annual rainfall exceeding 100 inches (2,500 mm)—is found in the following regions:

• The Amazon region: Located in the southeastern part of the country, this area is home to the Amazonian rainforest, or selva, which reaches its northern limit in southern Colombia.12
• The northern Pacific coast: This area includes the Chocó region, which is recognized as one of the wettest areas in the world, receiving more than 400 inches (10,200 mm) of rainfall annually.31
• The central Magdalena valley: Parts of this interior valley also experience the high precipitation and temperatures associated with the tropical rainforest climate.1

While a tropical monsoon climate—which supports rainforest vegetation but includes one or more dry months—occurs along the southern Pacific coast, the regions listed above are specifically identified as having the tropical rainforest climate type.1
