This illustration, created by Terence Teo, represents Colombia's population density on a three-dimensional map. To do this, Terence extracted the data available at Kontur Population with which it generates columns using a programme, with a height that represents the population density at each point.

This map of Colombia shows the three largest cities standing out from the rest: Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. Other population peaks can also be seen in other major cities such as Barranquilla, Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Bucaramanga.
