The Magdalena River is Colombia's main river, flowing north for approximately 1,528 km (949 miles) through the western half of the country. It is navigable by boat for much of its lower course, despite shifting sandbars at the delta's mouth, all the way to Honda, at the foot of the downstream falls. The river flows through the Magdalena Valley.
