I know they fucked us when we went to Macchu Pichu. You buy tickets for the place at the civic center the night before. If you are a student then it costs $20 less. I had kept my student ID from when I was in grad school. Well the next morning at the gate they made all the gringos who had gotten a student discount pay the extra $20 before they could enter the place.

Careful gents. I just went on the Avianca website looking for tickets for my girl in Barranquilla to come see me in Bogota in a couple of weeks. The site was set to United States. It gave me a price back of $128 each way. I was thinking that I have never paid anything like that for a ticket inside of Colombia. My research on San Andres has given me those kinds of prices, but never anything in the mainland. So I checked a far off date in February and it gave me the same prices. Then, I cleared my cache and went to the site again and set it on Colombia and it gave me a price of 87,000 pesos ($45) each way. What made me look to begin with is that I am requiring her to buy her own ticket. She told me the price was 290,000 pesos roundtrip through despegar.com.

If you don't like Colombia then why go? Where is your posting history for Cebu and all other places you ventured?

Taganga, near Santa Marta is the SCUBA capitol of the country, but I hear there are great diving opportunities in San Andres island.

Have you been to Argentina?
You will not get bored there. They are many retirees in B. A.
I have not been to Chiang Mai, but the others I have been to.

Posts: 8Looking for sage advice from a retired guy.
I am considering retirement next year at age 54. Having visited several places in the world, I am giving some consideration to 3 places. Angeles city PI, Chiang Mai Thailand, or Medellin Colombia.
Having visited all 3 places several times in the past, and upon drawing up lists as to the merits of each location, I have one concern I would like to ask a Retired person in similar circumstance.
I would like to know your long term thoughts of living in a place that you have only visited on vacation, as compared to long term retirement living. More to the point.
1. In AC / Medellin for example, are you still going out hitting the bars 3 plus nights a week. 1 year into retirement?
2. Do most Expats end up hitting the Bars early in Retirement and then settling down with a steady GF after a few months?
3. Does what seem like a great place for vacation turn out to be a very boring place after a few months?
In essence, does the appeal of the "monger scene" lose its luster after you live there.
Additional data. Do not consider monthly budget as a factor when responding. Also. My plan is to always rent in all locations.
Not looking so much on Opine on location. But sage advice I. E. Short vacation vs long term reality.

Posts: 114You can get a student visa and take some classes and get a paper from the institute. First you apply at Migraciones in Bogota or in Medellin, there is an agency, TIC recommended by the student coordinator on UPB in Medellin. I got a student visa, with that it was no problem staying in Colombia 6 months. Cost about 300k COP. Or you can choose other forms of visa, that you have a certain amount of money, etc, a business etc. I think the Colombian embassy in the US can help you with that, or give you advice how to do it when arrived in Colombia.
