Miss Earth Colombia 2023 is Luz Adriana López of Caquetá
Miss Earth Caquetá, Luz Adriana López Ayala, edged out 10 other contestants to be crowned Miss Earth Colombia 2023 on Saturday, April 29 at Centro de Convenciones Las Camelias in Montenegro, Quindío.
The 26-year-old environmental engineer representing the Serranía de Chiribiquete will now prepare for the Miss Earth 2023 pageant to be held in Vietnam later this year.
Marelis Salas Julio of Bolivar placed second and was named Miss Earth Air and Miss Intercontinental Colombia 2023. She will be participating in Miss Intercontinental 2023.
The third placer, Stephany Silva of Cauca, was announced as Miss Earth Water and Miss Eco Colombia 2023. She will proceed to Miss Eco International 2023.
Rounding out the Top 4 finalists was Juliana Aristizábal of Quindío. She was awarded the title Miss Earth Water and Miss Environment Colombia 2023 and is expected to compete in Miss Environment International 2023.
Last year's appointed Miss Earth Colombia, Andrea Aguilera, relinquished her reign at the end of the event. To recall, she clinched the Miss Earth Fire title at Miss Earth 2022 final in the Philippines last November.
Although Colombia has not won Miss Earth since its debut in 2001, the country has made it to the Top 4 four times. The other representatives who came close to taking home the crown were Michelle Gomez (2016), Juliana Franco (2017), and Valeria Ayos (2018).
