I was so lucky that a friend told me about InterNations before I came to Bogota. I had the chance to contact many expats there from home.

Embark on a New Life in Medellin
Among Medellin's many attractions are the numbers of innovative and unusual parks, where sculpture and interactive educational exhibits render them similar to museums. The most visited is the expansive 20,000 hectare Arvi Park where active expats will enjoy kayaking, sailing, horseback riding, trekking, swimming, and fishing. Trade in Medellin is led by the Antioquian Enterprises Group, a group of large businesses which employ around 80,000 people. Major industries include steel, textiles, food and beverage, public services, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and refined oil. A second group of around 21,000 companies make up the Medellin Cluster and share exporting and metropolitan employment in electricity, textiles, construction, tourism, and business, among others.

I was a little bit afraid before moving to Colombia - a new language, security issues, no friends. InterNations helped me settle in, though.
