Trendy nightlife, upscale shopping, and an array of imaginative restaurants can be found in Bogotá and Medellín, as well as several other large cities.

A big problem in Colombia, as well, is that properties age poorly due to construction companies taking shortcuts during the project. Both my apartment buildings there had huge issues after just 3-4 years. The one in Cartagena had pieces falling off the roof, the elevators never worked, the electricity and wifi system got slower and slower, etc. etc.. The one in Medellin started having cracks in the ceilings and walls. Water streamed into the parking lots from the swimming pool above, bricks started falling off the facades, etc.. And both were built by nationally known "high quality" builders.

I love Colombia and live here most of each year. I just took a trip to the US to visit friends and family and I could not wait to return to Colombia! I don't care much for Bogota' but I love Medellin. The Metro makes a big difference in getting around the city. Violence is mostly between gangs and really doesn't affect most people in a normal residential neighborhood. Petty crime is mostly crimes of opportunity. If you lay something down, it is likely to disappear. Otherwise, common sense will keep you safe. Most cities are safer than big cities in the US, and the Colombian people are generally warm and welcoming. Come see for yourself!

I am from the UK and been living in Cali since Nov 20, married a Colombian. Cheaper property than Bogota or Medellin and warmer. Lots of new developments for investment, many very good designs. There is a growing number of English speaking BPO's based in Cali - seems to be becoming a "Tech City". North west and North the best areas. People very friendly - except when behind the wheel of a car and won't give an inch or let you out or let you cross the road! Still much better than the UK though. Hopefully Petro won't screw things up.

I visited Caracas and Colonia Tovar in 2003 or so, when the Venezuelans I spoke to (cab drivers, bartenders, waiters, gun shop owners even) were still in the "Let's give this guy (Chavez) a chance" frame of mind, in other words before he destroyed the economy and to some degree the country. I'm sure many normal Colombians are thinking that now, about Petro. Good people usually try to be open minded, but if he has his way Colombia is about to get the rug pulled out from under it. I like Bogota, and have visited the major cities in Colombia looking at retirement options, but I wouldn't touch it now.

Violence has been engrained in our culture and as an optimist it will change with time, as in any country there is violence and crime, and it is much more showcased in Colombia. Colombia is a developing country with rapid cultural and economic change, its heritage runs through the land and its not like any modern country. Be modest and embrace the culture than attempting to change the culture.

I’m Colombian and have been living in The Netherlands for many years (so I’m a Dutch/EU-citizen as well). I wouldn’t recommend foreigners to move to my country at this point in time and probably in the foreseeable future. Crime rates have increased dramatically in the last couple of years, especially in the big cities, to the point where even walking on street in the evening is usually not recommended even outside of the city center(take cabs everywhere instead, from an app, not random ones). Among the 1.8 million Venezuelan refugees living in Colombia at the moment there are also a whole lot of criminals with nothing to lose, capable of such brutality even Colombians (who are used to being victims of violence) are scared of them. On top of that, now with a leftist in power things may go even more south when it comes to stability/safety and economy. A lot of my well-educated Colombian friends are seriously looking into moving abroad.

I lived 8 years in Brazil and all the middle class people from Sao Paulo living in London and New York told me the same thing before I moved there. The 8 years in Brazil were some of the best of my life and those original Brazilians are still living miserable lives in London and NY saying the same thing. Dont believe the Naysayers people, I've spent long periods recently in Medellin, Cali and Cartagena and it was absolutely magnificent!

Do all the Petro alarmists here understand that he appointed a market-friendly, neoliberal Finance Minister? Check out Ocampo's credentials. Petro is not another Chavez. I'm an American investing in a organic farm in Colombia and was very happy to see Colombia elect a leader who prioritizes the environment, promotes ecotourism, and wants Colombia to be a leader in transitioning to renewable energy. Given the exchange rate, there are amazing opportunities in Colombia to invest - I can definitely vouch for buying land and starting a carbon-capturing eco-friendly project that produces clean food.

@boldbaldpilot2029 Жыл бұрын

Hi Daniel -- I agree. It's easy to join in on feeding into the "pink tide" scare that has picked up energy since Petro's inauguration. But the uninformed dont realize S. American states Leftists: Bachelet, Morales, Correa, and Lula rule never had it so good economically. (the data doesn't lie)I am interested in your carbon capture plans as I'm making in-roads into the voluntary carbon credits market and would enjoy hearing your thoughts about Colombia's opportunity.. Ping me if interested.

You didn’t mention Petro. For your listeners imagine going to or investing in Venezuela a couple of months before Chavez took over 2 decades ago. That’s what’s going on here. I’m American, been living in Colombia 10 years and am organizing to leave very soon. Petro is extreme hard core Left guerrillero and brother de n arms with Venezuela’s Maduro. Petro will start his regime in August this year 2022. Better do your own research before even thinking of investing here. My thoughts anyways..

Amen. Colombians just elected Petro, a former leftist guerrillero. I hear my Colombian friends say that he won't do that much damage in one term, but who's to say he will only be there for one term and won't alter the constitution to perpetuate his rule? Does that sound familiar, Venezuela? This illustrates why it is so important to have multiple residencies in Latin America. Venezuela is an utter disaster, Chile has swung to the left, Colombia just elected an ardent leftist, and you have the Ortegas in Nicaragua. I wouldn't park too much money in Colombia right now.
