1. Amazonas	12. Chocó	23. Putumayo
2. Antioquia	13. Córdoba	24. Quindío
3. Arauca	14. Cundinamarca	25. Risaralda
4. Atlantico	15. Guainía	26. San Andrés y Providencia
5. Bolívar	16. Guavira	27. Santander
6. Boyacá	17. Huila	28. Sucre
7. Caldas	18. La Guajira	29. Tolima
8. Caquetá	19. Magdalen	30. Valle del Cauca
9. Casanare	20. Meta	31. Vaupés
10. Cauca	21. Nariño	32. Vichada

Every department (except Bogotá, which is also a municiple) are divided into municiples. Every municiple is ruled by a mayor and a council. There are a total of 1123 municiples.
