What do I need to know before moving to Bogota?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bogota, they said...
"Before moving to Bogota, expats should be aware of the city's high altitude, which can cause altitude sickness. Expats should also be aware of the city's crime rate and take necessary precautions to stay safe. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the local language, Spanish. Finally, expats should research the cost of living in Bogota to ensure they can afford to live comfortably," explained one expat living in Bogota, Colombia.
