Trade Minister Steve Ciobo is heading to Latin America in a bid to tie up a free-trade deal with Colombia.
He'll also visit Chile, Australia's third-largest trading partner, where a free-trade agreement has been in force since 2009.
Latin America presented major economic opportunities for Australia with increasing investment from the mining equipment, technology, services and education sectors, Mr Ciobo said on Tuesday.
