The antipodes of Colombia are located primarily in Southeast Asia, covering a significant part of the Indonesian archipelago. Unlike most countries, whose opposite point falls in the open ocean, a large part of Colombian territory has a direct terrestrial correspondence on the other side of the world.
The antipodal area covers the south of the island of Sumatra and crosses the waters of the Java Sea and its surroundings, finally connecting with the western coast of Borneo.
- The opposite projection of Colombian territory extends over three large islands of Indonesia: Sumatra, Java and Borneo.
- Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia and one of the most populous cities on the planet, is located within the antipodes of Colombian territory.
- Both regions are located in equatorial zones, resulting in a coincidence of warm and humid climates at both ends of the earth's diameter.
