Expats currently living in Rio Negro Colombia by glennddavis8
Hello expats! I have been living in the Laurelles area of Medellin for the past few year but I am now interested in living outside Medellin in the Rio Negro area. I will be visiting Rio Negro soon and would like to meet up with any expat currently ...

Internet in countryside around Rionegro-El Retiro? by FindingTime
How good is internet service in countryside around Rionegro, Llano Grande, and El Retiro? I’m not a gamer but I do a lot of zoom calls. I’m flying down in September to line up a rental before I bring the dogs down, and would appreciate ...
@FindingTime We have property (finca) in El Carmen but we have not finished our house so I don't have internet on-site. I know our neighbor uses Claro but they have not been happy with the service. The providers I have seen in the area or map are ... Read More

I have rented (3) different fincas in or around Rio Negro the past few years. Most rentals are going to have basic internet so it can be difficult to judge based on what you have at a rental. I have had service around 200 mbps or less but I assume ... Read More

@mtbe Hello. I think you may have answered some questions I've had and are giving me nightmares. Do you mind letting me know if my understanding is correct?1. 401k and IRA balances do not count towards wealth tax bet worth (patrimonio) and are not ... Read More
In Pereira need COVID PCR Testing needed by decadude
I need to get a 24 hour PCR test that will allow for entry back into the USA. Please advise if anyone has or knows a good location I am in Cerritos area. Thanks in advance
