Administrative divisions of Colombia  From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search  Colombia is a unitary
republic conformed by thirty-two departments (Spanish:
departamentos, sing. departamento) and a Capital District
(Distrito Capital). Each department has a Governor (gobernador)
and a Department Assembly (Asamblea Departamental), elected by
popular vote for a four-year period. The governor cannot be re-
elected consecutively.  Departments are formed by a grouping of
municipalities (Spanish: municipios, sing. municipio). Municipal
government is composed by a mayor (alcalde) and a Municipal
Council (concejo municipal), both of them elected by the people
for a four-year period.  The Capital District is the country's
capital, Bogotá. It is partially dependent on the Department of
Cundinamarca that surrounds it.  Postal codes[edit]  The postal
codes in Colombia are 6 digit numeric. The first two digits are
the numbers used by DANE to encode the departments, the next two
in the range of 00 to
