Timba,

Don't know where you are getting your info?

The rapidly increasing number of casualties is linked in part to the government’s policy of eradicating coca fields and reclaiming land under the “Plan Patriota,� thus increasing NSAG mine-use to protect their camps and coca fields. Most of the new casualties are military, but also include unemployed civilians hired by the military to clear coca fields, for example in Vistahermosa in La Macarena national park in Meta department

From 1990 to 1 June 2006, the Observatory recorded a total of 5,152 mine/UXO casualties (1,236 people killed and 3,916 injured) from 8,439 incidents; 3,264 were military, 1,845 civilians, 41 NSAG members; and two cases were unknown. At least 187 casualties were women, 117 were girls and 418 were boys under 18 years; the gender of 33 children was not known. According to the Observatory, the most common activities at the time of the incident were: military activities (3,152 casualties), “passing by� (582), farming (144), tampering (83), playing (62), police activity (32), collecting water, wood or food (24), working at home (20), traveling (14), herding animals (13), fishing (10), other activities (65), and unknown (951). According to the government, 92 percent of casualties occur in rural areas and 88 percent of casualties are people of working age.[184]



The 10 Colombian departments with the most reported casualties from 1990 to 1 May 2006 were: Antioquia with 1,288 casualties (25 percent); Meta 492 casualties (9.5 percent); Bolívar 419 casualties (eight percent); Caquetá 387 casualties (7.5 percent); Norte de Santander 336 casualties (6.5 percent); Cauca 274 casualties (5.3 percent); Santander 257 casualties (five percent); Arauca 224 casualties (4.3 percent); Tolima 195 (3.7 percent) and Cundinamarca 142 casualties (2.8 percent). The number of reported casualties in Antioquia increased from 678 (September 2004) to 1,288 in May 2006.[185]

Hi Nicadj,
It's a liitle difficult to get near Bucaramanga a land for that price. Nearby places like Ruitoque, Mensully Valley price per square meter is about $80.000 (more than 300 million pesos acre). So maybe you're budgeting wrong.
Please check my website www.buycolombiarealty.com and if you want more information, please fell free to contact me.

When you are getting the price quoted per meter, you're already paying too much and the land has already been parcelized. Buy a real finca and pay per hectare prices, not a condomunuim, which in Colombia is what a subdivision is called.
