Medellín
Colombia's second city has spent the last decade rebuilding its reputation, and for remote workers it's largely earned the "City of Eternal Spring" tag — sitting at 1,500 metres in the Aburrá Valley keeps temperatures in the high teens to high twenties year-round, no seasons to plan around. The trade-off is that getting here from Europe always means a stop, and the neighbourhood you pick matters more than almost anywhere else on this list. Everything below covers getting there, where to base yourself, and the visa and safety questions people actually ask.
