Where does Colombia's Magdalena River end?

The Magdalena River is a major river in Colombia. It begins at the La Magdalena lagoon and ultimately empties into the Caribbean Sea. Additionally, the Magdalena is listed among the most significant rivers in South America, along with the Parana, Orinoco, and Amazon.

Historically, the Magdalena River served as an important transportation route in Colombia. Today, the Magdalena River Basin is essential for farming crops such as cacao, plantains, coffee, and corn. The river also provides a habitat for numerous species of fish, birds, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians. Additionally, the significant human population near the Magdalena River depends on its waters for fishing and farming.

The Magdalena River originates from the Magdalena Lagoon, which is located in the Andes Mountains and is situated at an elevation of 3,685 m (12,089 ft). As the river flows upstream, it is navigable for approximately 1,000 km (621 miles), until it reaches rapids near the town of Honda. After the rapids, the Magdelana is navigable again for nearly 240 km(150 miles). Cities or towns located along or near the river include La Dorada, Neiva, Puerto Boyacá, Santa Cruz de Mompox, Puerto Berrio, and Honda. The Magdalena River has more than ten tributaries
