I come from venezuela and the hospitals are definitely not great, my family have to go to Colombia to get treatment when they get sick so you get an idea of the condition of the health care system in Venezuela. The rest of the pros and cons are pretty accurate 👌🏼

Great island. Lived there for 20 years before I start traveling around. Don't forget it's expensive. All is imported, nothing grows there. And one other thing: you need a car. Public transport is bad and all locals have cars.

I have worked remotely from Minca for the last 4 years and can attest that there are a few good spots with a reliable internet connection! The place is a paradise to work from, as the natural beauty of the mountain inspires, relaxes, and connects! I would suggest searching on AirBnB for houses with good WiFi or check the local ex-pat in santa marta page for tips!

I mostly don't like it here. Possibly I am too used to USA or have not traveled enough. PRO: It is beautiful, with great natural resources, inexpensive rates & lots of activities to do.

The locals see the tourist as distinctly different from them. It's hard to find any locals to have a conversation & just tre
