I've lived in Bogota on and off for total of nearly two years between 2021 and 2025, and I'll keep going back. I love the cool climate and the variety of things to do, and the cost of living is among the lowest among major destinations in Latin America. The only major drawback is that, due to frequently heavy traffic, it can take a long time to get from one part of the city to another.
