'''Colombian diaspora''' refers to the mass movement of [[Colombian People|Colombian people]] who have emigrated from the country in search of safety and/or a better quality of life. Many of those who moved were educated middle and upper middle-class Colombians, but also significant numbers of the poor. Colombian officials state that this movement peaked in the year 2000 and that the most popular destinations for emigration include the [[United States]], [[Ecuador]], [[Canada]], [[Brazil]], [[Costa Rica]] and [[Venezuela]]. In Europe, [[Spain]] has the largest Colombian community on the continent, followed by the [[United Kingdom]], while tens of thousands of Colombian immigrants live in [[Germany]], [[Italy]], [[France]], and [[The Netherlands]]<ref>Myriam Bérubé, ''[http://www.migrationinformation.org/Profiles/display.cfm?ID=344 Colombia: In the Crossfire]'', Migration Information Source</ref>. Many Colombians are also dispersed throughout Latin America ([[Mexico]], [[Argentina]] and [[Chile]] received political refugees in the mid-to-late 20th century, and Colombian guest workers in the early 2000's). |

Another meaning refers to the new wave of Colombian artists who have migrated seeking better opportunities and new markets. |
