Many of those who have never been to Colombia associate it with drugs, violence, guerrilla fighters, and paramilitaries. Fortunately, it only takes a few glances upon the warm, smiling faces to understand the pride felt for how different life is in Colombia today. Colombia is an up and coming travel destination and many people don't know it is the oldest democracy in Latin America. You could also take a TEFL course and find English teaching jobs in Columbia.


Following nearly forty years of insecurity, Colombia has emerged in the last decade into a leading Latin America country, equipped with a rapidly developing economy, modern cosmopolitan cities, gorgeous Caribbean beaches, the luscious Amazon rainforest, quaint and charming colonial villages, buzzing night-life, and much more. The only risk is wanting to stay! Highlights include the bustling markets in the city of Bogotá, explore the volcanic island of Providencia, visit the old colonial town Villa de Leyva or relaxing on the Parque Nacional Tayrona coastline.

In Colombia, we work in Medellin, a city of 2.5 million. Medellin, the City of Eternal Spring as it is affectionately known, rests in a narrow valley. With the railroad, the boom of the coffee industry, and profits made by mining investors, Medellin grew into a major metropolis over the twentieth century. Medellin has had a colourful history. Despite a past disrupted by violence, today it is one of the safest cities in all of South America. In Colombia our partners focus on public health, childcare, youth empowerment, environment, micro-enterprise development, community development and education. In Medellin, you can also learn Spanish or complete a placement with a Tailored focus.

Colombia Travel Safety Advice & Volunteering

Travel and volunteer in Colombia with International Volunteer HQ! Throughout the 1980's and the early 1990's, Colombia did not create a good reputation for itself as a safe and secure country. Thankfully, that is now in the past and since the mid 90's has really developed itself with the help of a large amount of US investment. In 2002 Álvaro Uribe Vélez became the president of Colombia and since his election the country has become safer by the day with a massive turnaround in security.
