Colombia is described by many teachers as the hidden gem of South America; TEFL teachers usually effuse about the wonderful time they had there. Most TEFL positions are located in the high-altitude capital, Bogota, or at the beautiful walled city on the Caribbean coast, Cartagena, and the newly revitalised 2nd city, Medellin. Teachers are usually paid an average local salary which is enough to savour the vibrant lifestyle Colombia has to offer.
