What do people like (and dislike) about Colombia?

"I truly feel fortunate to have discovered Ibague, Colombia. I came here at the request of my girlfriend because she has Family here. It is truly a hidden gem that I would never have discovered otherwise. There have never been many foreign tourists here, so there is no "Gringo pricing" or any of the other aberrations that occur in many places in Latin America. I periodically "shop around" and consider living in other places, but all it has done is convince me I found a near-perfect spot on the planet. Medellin is a wonderful place for a large city. The weather in Ibague is similar to Medellin. The daily high temp is about 2 degrees higher in Ibague, but the humidity is lower. Anybody who says they can tell the difference might be lying, and you should probably check it out for yourself. Ibague is also much closer to the capitol city of Bogota and most expats will occasionally have government business to do there. This city has excellent products and services available. We live within walking distance of an Exito and a HomeCenter. You need want for nothing," said another expat in Ibague, Colombia.

"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the affordability of living in Colombia, as well as the friendly and welcoming culture of the locals. They also enjoy the country's diverse landscapes, from the Caribbean coast to the Andes mountains, as well as the vibrant cities and towns. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the infrastructure and public services to be lacking, as well as the lack of reliable internet access in some areas. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for some, as Spanish is the primary language spoken in Colombia," wrote a member who made the move to Colombia.
