Why Americans are Moving to Colombia in RECORD Numbers?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Nearly 60,000 US expats have immigrated to Colombia. Forbes called Colombia one of the coolest places to visit, while the New York Times listed Colombia as the #2 country to visit in the entire world.
Is there any truth to these words? Wasn’t the country ridden with crime and drug cartels not too long ago? So why is everyone moving to Colombia now?

I have lived here 10 years. Quite a few inaccuracies, but overall a decent and positive portrayal. I am starting a business to help english speakers to move here.....could have used such a service when I moved here.

iam french -american and planning my retirement in colombia its a lot cheaper than california and very lucky to be with my colombian family hopefully next year in 2025
I am originally from Germany, have been living in California for most of my life, and might move to Colombia as well. I have visited Colombia 10 times over the past 14 years.
My favorite video of Colombia, love it!!
I’m Colombian and I love Colombia for its vibrant culture, warm-hearted people, stunning landscapes, rich history, and delicious cuisine. The country's diversity, from the Andes to the Amazon, adds to its unique charm.
But, here comes the sad part, the current government is causing significant harm by increasing cocaine production and undermining the country's police and judicial branches. This poses a serious threat to Colombia's stability and safety.
Tenía que ser una colombiana acomplejada que en vez de resaltar lo bueno, siempre tienen que salir con una charada criticando a su propio país. Lo que usted está diciendo es cuento viejo. La culpa es de los patrocinadores/consumidores, porque mientras que haya consumo/demanda siempre habrá producción. Entonces, a quienes hay que educar son a los países de primer mundo, que son los consumidores número uno del mundo.
@@inolvidable.Petro es un peligro, así que deje de querer tapar el sol con un dedo!
i'm considering moving to colombia, but with no job and no saving, i'm still "prisonner" of france.
So what do you propose as policy then? A return to the Uribe/Duque program (American funded and instigated) program of coca eradication by spraying with toxic glyphosate (roundup)? Which obviously never worked anyway. Nothing fundamentally wrong with coca plants in the first place. I've walked thru them in Putumayo.. It's what they do to it in the processing that converts it to a vile toxic substance. I wouldn't be punishing the farmers either.

hombre usted solo copió y pego el mismo comentario, hay que traer extranjeros por qué a los colombianos no les gusta vivir aquí, ellos prefieren salir a comer mrd. @@piedrablanca1942

you omitted Africa as having descendants in Colombia.
Tons of friends spending time in Colombia and even moving there for the digital nomad visa. One of my friends fell in love and ended up marrying a paisa (and staying there!). Very different from how it used to be or how it's portrayed in media. Would love to go back to Colombia one day and see the coffee region/Medellin!
Los colomboanos somos gente buena y de progreso. No nos da miedo los retos y somos talentosos.
Yo llevo 5 años en san francisco y ya me voy a regresar con lo que gané voy a construir unas cabañas para rentarle a los extranjeros. Soy arquitecto. Saludos ojalá vuelvas a Colombia.
Visita Boyacá, Bucaramanga, parque tayrona, barranquilla.
Saludos cordiales
Colombia one of the most Pinturesco Countries in the World., there You will find, flowers, reptiles, animals that only exist there and only there. We Shared the Amazon Jungle with Brazil, its.....HEAVEN CANT WAIT!!!!!

Hello CitizenoftheWorld . I noticed you were interviewed by RUclipsr Carlton of Carlton’s Travel Adventures sometime ago. As you record stories/news for people visiting Colombia I wondered if you have heard about/from Carlton who has not put out a RUclips video for 5 months now. Would be good to know he’s fine. Thanks
*Colombia is the Most Bio-diverse Country in the World by Km², and 2nd. by extension, after Brazil.*
*Colombia is called the Country of 1000 Rhythms, because it has 1,025.* Very rich musical culture.
Actually below all the hype Medellin Colombia is a cesspool full of heartless, soulless thieves who will murder you for 2 pesos PERIOD...

Great video, I love my country Colombia 🇨🇴 I always have a wonderful time when we visit, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 ♥️✌️
I love it... fell in love with the country.... was in medellin for 6 months last winter to spring

Wow. I’m shocked and disappointed that this video didn’t even mention the influence of the African Diaspora on Columbia’s history and culture.
I will move to Colombia to stay first 6 months per year. Two things you need to know. The most important is to speak basic Spanish because the people don’t know how to speak English or they have a bad pronunciation. The second and for me the most important is you need to know how to cook and your costs will go down a lot.
Excellent video with all the right reasons to move to Colombia. One change to make as to the origins of Colombians at time 10:57 of your video is to replace Asian for African.

Colombia territory has all grade of ground altitudes from which allows you to fit at your best temperature all year around, from sea level to snow mountainsides, from deserts to the beautiful Amazonas. The east side of the territory is flat and the central and western is crossed by the chain of mountains landing at the pacific and Atlantic oceans. Tropical rivers are paradise for fishermen and lovers of nature. There are no excuses to accommodate to your needs 🎉🎉

Is this info some kind of ranking? You're descending counting. And the pictures on 9:10 are shifted; the label Bogotá is on Medellín's picture and viceversa.
Isn't the festival in Barranquilla?
FYI It hasn't been cheap in Poblado since 2022 and prices are just going up.
It's stupid expensive and ground zero for all the worst problems beseiging Medellin in the last few years. I try avoid Poblado... It's not really characteristic of Colombia.
@albollinger5431 Exactly. I'm moving to Bogota for a short time,because my fiance is a Venezolana. I plan to permanently move to Pereira in a few years
Correct, but still on the low side. There are other good parts of Medellin which a cheaper. Problem is, El Poblado is overrun by tourists and expats
These AI voice videos are hilarious, the way it pronounced Medellín and Bogota. 😂
We can rest easy for the time being that A. I. is far from being perfected despite what Elon wants you to think. 😂
Excellent job 💛💙❤️
Jot everywhere in Colombia is a paradise for foreigners. Some cities are very hot and humid. I vote for the coffee region.
How about as a location for retirement by older expats seeking tranquility, stability, amenities, etc ?
10:54 , um no, the AI generator got it wrong...Asians are NOT one of the main three groups that Colombians are descended from. Asians are rare enough in Colombia that strangers will ask to take pictures with them! I'm dead serious.
Medellin Has The Most Beautiful Girls In The World!
And that's becuz they come to Medellin from all parts of the country and beyond. Medellin is rich.. and like honeybees to the biggest sweetest flower they flock.
Obviously, I love Colombia, mostly Medellin and Cartagena.
All yours.. 😂
@albollinger5431 if you knew better you'd do better. Bet you don't have a passport.

Colombia is an American country in South America, so technically Colombians are Americans, don't you?........
Yes, Colombians and from Patagonia to Canada is the American continent; America is not a country it is a continent.
@michaelk there is an incredible array of great food available in the marketplace but not necessarily so easily found in typical restaurants and especially on the street. It's mostly fat fried food, not healthy food. And outside of fine dining in big cities I found more tasty healthy (especially seafood), on the coast.. not in Medellin.. Medellin is a big cash register and it's all about fast and cheap and profitable. But if you love your tough as leather carne and fatty pork you will be right at home.
“Enslaved Africans were first brought by Spanish colonists to Cartagena in the sixteenth century, to replace the lost labour on the plantations and mines which occurred as a result of the decimation of the indigenous population due partly to the harsh working conditions.”
Asian? No, that is Peru. Where in Colombia did you visit and you didn't bump into an Afro-Colombian? They are hard to miss but you failed to mentioned thier existence considering alot of their culture is evident in the country. I have been to Colombia many times as i have many friends and some family there and i don't see as many asians as i did in Peru. Also many of your information is not correct because the crime rate is high especially with groups like The FARC. Also Colombia is very expensive to live especially for the locals. I would recommend on visiting Colombia and not reading from articles.
Don't forget the Paramilitares. They are more dangerous than the FARC.
But it is inexpensive for foreigners.
low taxes????? not.
No way sorry but a $1,000 a month to live there is not realistic. Show me I’m wrong, please. Agree that there are lots of positive attributes to Colombia and it is much less expensive than many countries but $1,000 per month is unrealistic.
It's true, I am colombian, with 1000 dollars you can have a decent life, depends of the city, but in some cities an apartment rent could cost 250 dollars, plus 200 dollars in groceries, plus tickets bus could cost 50 dollars per month etc. depends the zone, city...
I am moving there, Brother simply sick of Europe and US. These two will sink your finances quickly
Buses are scary as f..k - very poor standard of driving - needs massive regulation to improve safety.
US expats? No!! US imigrant
Expats are immigrants too what’s the difference?
I'm doing everything the right way and getting my visa before I come so for some that may true but for me it's US EXPAT cause I'm tired of the rat race in America.
@@MikeDunn1 You are not an expat, it doesn't matter what your social status is, how much money you have, whether you are retired or not. You are going to live in another country, you are an IMMIGRANT
@@lumesquita5524 That's fair I'm coming into another country regardless so again immigrant is fair but like I said I'm doing it legally not illegally like the people crossing the border into America.
I'm just trying to get out of America cause it's just as bad as any other country.
@MikeDunn1 you mean the USA, not 'America'.
You need to add Africans to your video. I am not sure how you forgot or omitted that part but please add Africans.
A - "fish out of water" - w/o Spanish and don't want the isolation in my old age - I'd prefer "comfort" by not needing a different language. This means the Philippines jumps to the top of the list for me. A variety of cost of living locations can be had over there - where they all speak English. Some up to 70% less than the US average ! ((wow)) All business signs street signs menus and legal documents - are all in English !!! - - - '''IF''' - - - the people of Colombia spoke more English....... like they do in Malaysia - or - even in Cambodia........
We are a Spanish speaking country with a very strong Spanish culture, we don’t really have to speak English, that being said, if you are moving there learn the language buddy. Plus Colombia is in the same time zone as NYC and only 5.5hrs flight from it, is a very convenient location for many expats.
@@camiloquintero1983 They had the "Spanish culture" in the Philippines when Spain ruled them - for 333 YEARS !!! --- English is now the language of choice ? But they also still speak tagalog.
Asian? Please do your research. Thank you.
This video claims Colombia is the greatest country in the world 😀, but take it with a grain of salt! Some of the facts are a bit off. For example, the OECD reports that Colombia's dropout rate is around 22%, compared to 9% in the U.S.
You forgot to mention the gorgeous women living there as well.
Greatest lie ever told !!! I’m glad some people are starting to realize the truth
Medellin is nice, but a little steep and slippery for an older person with walking issues like me. My nephew is living there now with his lady. I'll see them later this year up in Playa del Carmen where I stay winters. Long term for me it could be back to Medellin for a longer stay and also CDMX. Mexico City is a very beautiful place. Much better for older people like me. Now if they only could get their water issues solved.
There are many areas in Medellin that are quite walkable, El Poblado of course is not one of them.
❤
they movin there most likely im guessin bc of remote jobs and the cheap living there after all the inflation passed few years in the us. Way easier to save your us check in colombia than in the us.
Pronunciation.
If you're going to make a video about Colombia, maybe spend 5 minutes learning to pronounce Spanish names.
Lol, yeah, funny how he pronounced Medellín.
Slow life heh? Have you driven here yet? 😂
It's cheap - but - it really sucks if you can't speak Spanish ! Malaysia Cambodia & the Philippines all speak English and are cheap too. Not sure '''why''' people in Colombia are so allergic to English - when half way around the world they see it as desirable ? > Even Argentina speaks the most English and is furthest away from the US in Central & S America - as well as much of Europe ? - - - Go figure. - ? -
Colombia has an official language stablished in Colombian constitution which is Spanish (Article Number 10, to be precise), and also that depends who you talk to. IF it is elderly people they won't understand a lot of things. If you talk to a young adult or teenager that would be a little bit easier. It's not an "allergy" as you say, and also learning the local language is a way to adapt the country you're going to move to.
Arrogªnt monolingual American wanting the entire world to speak English for them.
You are simply a monolingual arrogant gringo, expecting the entire world to speak English for you, which makes you allergic to Spanish. And those countries speak English because their language is not as common as Spanish. Remember that Spanish is spoken in practically 70% of America, including some Caribbean islands. And saying that all Argentinians speak English is a complete lie, because only about 20% speak some English, and the reason is that more immigrants from Europe, where people speak easily several languages.
Also, Colombia won’t miss you, but you will miss knowing or living in such spectacular country. So, learn the language. Immigrants in the USA have to learn English, what makes you think you don’t have to learn the language of the place you are visiting?
Why are you so alergic to Spanish? Go figure! Being a monolingual gringo does not help, expecting the entire world to speak English for you. Those countries speak English because their language is not as common as Spanish. Remember that Spanish is spoken in practically 70% of America, including some Caribbean islands. And saying that all Argentinian speak English is a complete lie, because only about 20% speak some English, and the reason is that more immigrants from Europe, where people speak easily several languages.

Creo que si quieres visitar Colombia, debes saber que nuestro idioma oficial es el español y tenemos 69 idiomas y lenguas más!! No necesitamos cambiar nuestro idioma, precisamente por eso Blas de Lezo le gano la Batalla de Cartagena a los Ingleses a Vertnon en la Guerra del Asiento.... Tanta verguenza les dio a los ingleses perder la guerra que la han escondido por tres siglos...
I like Colombia a lot, except for the food.
Colombia is not famous for its food alth on the Caribbean side you can find more interesting and tasty dishes like fresh sea food cooked in salsa de coco... Medellin is some of the worst food in the country... most everything fried in saturated oil. Good luck finding a good salad. In Poblado there is fine dining and diverse dishes but American prices. Bring your Platinum card.
@@albollinger5431 I'm in the USA. I haven't been to Colombia yet, but I've got plans to go in the next few months, after the holidays are over. I've eaten Colombian food at the homes of Colombian friends and I've eaten in Colombian restaurants in NJ and NYC. I love Colombian food. I think you have only eaten the cheap stuff if you say you don't like Colombian food.
@@albollinger5431 Best place for food in Colombia is Cali. They have a mix of cultures there that gives them cheap, quality and varied foods affordable even at nice restaurants.
@@primodono7684 I've been to Cali a few times. I hated the food there. Bogota has better restaurants, but still not great. I've eaten at some awesome restaurants in Mexico. They also know how to make great mixed drinks. I just love Colombia more for the most beautiful mountain sites in the world,
@@jaztec68you must have extremely high standards or have not been properly advised where to go. If you compare Colombian cuisine to what you find in Paris or maybe even Mexico City then I understand if you were not impressed, but to me it is very good. I am also very glad that you like my country and hope you can enjoy it to the max.
