Rent in Baq roadrunner
You could pay anything from $450,000- $700,000 per month for a decent apartment. In the Prado district you may pay a little less.

I am a teacher and really like it here. Everyone I have met has been really friendly. I went to the carnival and loads of people asked me where I was from and were really concerned that I was having a good time. I live in the better part of town and have never fely threatened/unsafe. I often go down to the central market and again have not felt threatened, even though I stand out a mile from the locals. I think there are so few outsiders here, people are really pleased you are here as they are concerned with the image Colombia has abroad.
I have not been to Cali,so cannot compare. I am returning to England later on this year and it will be a shock going back to glum, and generally unhelpful people.

I'm a Gringa living in Barranquilla. Love the place. People have been really friendly and I actually feel safer here than where I was living in the UK. I also love the fact it is so close to Santa Marta and Cartagena.

You could spend a week in Ctg and a week in Santa Marta/Rodedero. This would be my option - depends what you like.

roadrunner comments on Question on security

visiting colombia I have been living in Barranquilla for 3 months and have had absolutely no problems. I have visited cartegena and Santa Marta and felt safe too. I am female, blonde and have my 3 year old son with me. If it were not safe, I would not be here. My husband was in Barcelona last year and was mugged - it can happen anywhere.
