Destination 》2000
Below is the list of Countries I visited during the year 2000. Click on any country to view my travel photos and stories.
Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island, a self-governing commonwealth of the United States of America, with a landscape of mountains, waterfalls and the El Yunque tropical rainforest.
Originally populated by the indigenous Taíno people, Puerto Rico was colonized by Spain following the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1493, and remained under Spanish possession for over four centuries. Puerto Rico became United States territory after the Spanish-American War ended in 1898.
Colombia is a transcontinental country spanning South America and an insular region in North America. It is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Ecuador and Peru to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and Panama to the northwest.
The country was named in honor of Christopher Columbus, following the Italian version of his name (Cristoforo Colombo). Although Columbus never actually set foot on the current Colombian territory, in his fourth voyage he visited Panama, which was part of Colombia until 1903.
