Is the cost of living in Colombia high?

"In Colombia, the cost of living is generally considered to be lower than in many other countries. The rents for a one-bedroom apartment typically range from $250 to $500 USD per month in urban areas, while the rents for a two bedroom apartment range from $400 to $700 USD per month in the same areas. The cost of living is generally higher in large cities such as Bogota and Medellin, as compared to secondary cities such as Cali and Barranquilla. Eating dinner at a moderately priced restaurant in Colombia typically costs around $10 to $20 USD per person," said another in Colombia.
