Where should I setup a bank account in Santa Marta?

"Before retiring in Santa Marta, expats should know that the city has a tropical climate with high humidity and temperatures that can reach up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important to understand that Spanish is the official language, so learning it would be beneficial for daily life. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's advisable to have a reliable source of income or savings. Healthcare in Santa Marta is of a good standard, with several hospitals and clinics available. However, it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The city is generally safe, but like any other place, it has areas that are best avoided, especially at night. Santa Marta offers a variety of leisure activities, including beaches, national parks, and historical sites. The city has a vibrant nightlife with many restaurants, bars, and clubs. Public transportation is widely available, but it can be crowded and not always punctual. Expats should also be aware of the visa requirements for living in Colombia. A retirement visa is available for those who can prove a steady income from a pension or social security. Lastly, it's important to note that while Santa Marta is a popular tourist destination, it's not as developed as other Colombian cities, which can be both a charm and a challenge for expats," commented one expat who made the move to Santa Marta, Colombia.
