The proposals
Andi, the spectacled bear: one of the species of the Coffee Region and Colombia, in general, is honored. It lives in forests and is characterized by its dark hair and light spots on its face. Its role in the ecosystem is key. It is the guardian of the moors since, with courage and determination, by using branches and opening space in the forests, it allows light to pass through and help plants germinate.
Red, the cup of coffee: Colombia is synonymous with coffee and its grain, which is mainly produced and exported from this region, evolves into a cup that represents the entire country. Active, cheerful and energetic, he will be on each game stage with the enthusiasm that he produces, to also promote the union that a cup generates in any home, office or restaurant in the country.
Trochi, the hummingbird: versatility, agility and inspiration. Through the coffee mountains, it enchants with its spectacle of speed, sharp vision, bright colors and long beak, with which they pollinate plants, essential for the conservation of the flora. It will be an example of stability for Colombian athletes.
