The best of Colombia: places and people
Colombia is a country full of biodiversity from north to south, and each of its 32 departments is full of life, color, magic and unforgettable experiences, which is why, when looking for apartments in Colombia, it's easy to fall in love with any real estate investment opportunity.
Our country is known as a place full of new ideas, entrepreneurship and determination to get ahead; proof of this are some of the most successful Colombians who have made our country proud, including:
Alberto ‘Beto’ Pérez
Alberto, a native of Cali, used the dance and flavor that characterize Valle del Cauca to win over Colombians and foreigners alike with what is now known as ‘Zumba’, a dance routine combining Colombian rhythms to encourage people to exercise through movement.
Taro Ayara
A Colombian entrepreneur, founder of Miaki, a telecommunications control company focused on call centers, text messaging, agriculture, health and more. Taro Ayara currently lives in Bangladesh, and his company has won international awards such as the Connected World Forum – Innovation in Mobile VAS and the MIT Portugal Entrepreneur Venture Competition.
Paula Mendoza
After graduating in Social Communication from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, she is now recognized as one of the most important jewelry designers in the United States. Her creations have been sold in exclusive boutiques in Australia, Europe and Latin America.
These are just some of the Colombians who have made history at home and abroad, proving that living in Colombia means being surrounded by people of great human and professional quality.
On the other hand, investing in Colombia means being able to enjoy places that are World Heritage Sites, as determined by UNESCO through its list for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage; out of a list of 981 heritage sites, Colombia has seven.
When you decide to acquire real estate in Colombia you can enjoy:
The monumental complex of Cartagena
This beautiful heritage site was the first one in the country inscribed on the UNESCO list, highlighting the importance of 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century Spanish military architecture, and it is considered one of the most eminent examples in the country's history.
Los Katíos National Park
This nature reserve of more than 75,000 hectares is considered the barrier for wildlife exchange between North, Central and South America, and it was added to the list in 1994.
Santa Cruz de Mompox
This city in the department of Bolívar earned its place on the UNESCO list because, through its colonial structures, it preserves Colombia's entire history since the Spanish conquest. Because its location was isolated by the Magdalena River, the whole area has been preserved to this day.
San Agustín Archaeological Park
This site was added to the list in 1995 and is considered the largest group of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America. It is located in the area known as the 'Andean Belt', in southwestern Colombia.
What is living in Colombia like?
Besides recognizing our entrepreneurial talent and some of our country's top tourist sites, living in Colombia gives you the opportunity to appreciate the cultural richness a country can have, since here you'll commonly meet people with different accents, customs and traditions that make our land unique. You can also enjoy the wonderful experience of a variety of climates in different regions, thanks to the country's location on the Equator, which lets you enjoy warm or cool weather in nearby or distant cities without waiting for the seasons the rest of the world experiences.
As for job opportunities, cities such as Bogotá, Medellín, Bucaramanga and Cali, among others, make one of the benefits of living in Colombia the chance to find far-reaching opportunities for the country's residents. For example, in Bogotá or anywhere else in the country, you can access National Government programs offering employment initiatives through strategies such as Sacúdete, which aims to help young people become “agents of transformation who unleash young people's talents and skills as a social asset and agents of change.”
