Overview

About

Downloads wrangled Colombian socioeconomic, geospatial,population and climate data from DANE https://www.dane.gov.co/ (National Administrative Department of Statistics) and IDEAM (Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies). It solves the problem of Colombian data being issued in different web pages and sources by using functions that allow the user to select the desired database and download it without having to do the exhausting acquisition process.
