How should I address my parcel for delivery to Colombia?
Colombia’s address format largely follows a strain typical of South America by including the title of the addressee (i.e. ‘Señor’ or ‘Señorita’) in the first line of the address. There are a couple of other exceptions, though, including a number of abbreviations that UK senders may not be familiar with.
