UNDER CONSTRUCTION (MORE TO COME! :))
Colombia is one of the main gateways to South America. The Caribbean coast of Colombia is closer to Miami than Miami is to New York and is the home of incredible geographical diversity (number two in the world for biodiversity). It shares its borders with Panama, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil and Ecuador and it is the only country in South America which has a Caribbean and a Pacific coast (both of which are completely different from one another culturally, topographically and weather patterns). The department of Chocó as well as the Southeastern regions of the country (encompassing parts of the Meta, Vichada, Guainía, Guaviare, Caquetá, Vaupés, Putumayo and Amazonas departments) are covered by lush tropical jungles and rain forests - home to more than 10% of the world's biodiversity.
Colombia encompasses almost ever climate on the planet (with the exception of tundra of course) and has everything a traveler could ask for regarding activities and diversity. If you really wanted to, you could literally go ice climbing and sunbathing by the beach within two days of each other.
Colombia is a country where one has to take his/her time and take on a different approaches and perspectives. For example, if you were to travel to Nariño in the south-west, Caldas in the central northwest, Chocó along the Pacific coast and La Guajira in the far northeast, you might as well be in a different country because they are so incredibly different from one another. Therefore, it is best to look at Colombia in terms of departments (states/provinces) and regions rather than a country as a whole. Here is a list of the 32 departments of Colombia, along with their CS groups, in order of population along with some brief information:
1. Cundinamarca (including D.C.):
UNDER CONSTRUCTION (MORE INFORMATION COMING SOON!)
The capital of Cundinamarca is Botogá which is also the nations capital and largest city (roughly +7 million people in the capital alone) and it is geographically and politically the center of the country. Just about everything you need can be found in Bogotá (variety of restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping, et cetera). Due to the high population of Couchsurfers and ex-pats, it is very easy to find a couch (if it is your first time couchsurfing, please take a few minutes to read these two pages: How to write a Couch Request and How to be a good guest). More information about Couch Requests below.
Precautions:-Cundinamarca - coming soon.
-Bogotá, like any big city, petty theft is quite common. Keep an eye out for your belongings and surroundings. Never walk alone at night, take taxis or travel with a group. Avoid parts of Barrio Bolívar even during the day.
CS groups related to Bogotá and Cundinamarca and how to best utilize them:
A. CS BOGOTA: by far the most active group in the country and where you can an array of activities happening daily/weekly. Any information regarding Bogotá as well as things to do outside of the city (in the Cundinamarca department).
CS Sub groups for CS BOGOTA:
a. Bogota Language Exchange and Practice: this is a subgroup for those in Bogotá wanting to practice a particular language, plan linguistic meetings & events, or just want to get to know buena gente. For example, you need help with your Spanish or your French? No problem; just make a post including location, date, and time and voilà you have an encuentro lingüístico.
b. LAST MINUTE COUCH REQUEST (Bogotá): this group is self explanatory. Let's say your potential host bails on you and you are stuck without a place to sleep, use this group in hopes of finding a couch. Remember, use this group only as a last resort; otherwise, search for profiles and make a personalized Couch Request.
c. CS Bogota Classifieds: as the group already sates, "Use this group for sharing a room in your apartment, find a room or place to rent, offer your professional services, find a job, etc." This page can come in handy for foreigners looking for a place to live.

The department of Antioquia offers a large variety of diversity so take your time here to explore the mountains, the valleys and the Urabá region along the Caribbean coast. Although Medellín is Colombia's second largest city, it isn't easy to find a couch here (most couchsurfers here are unable to host). It is recommended that you send a request at least 10 days in advance to better your chances and make them personalized. Again, if it is your first time couchsurfing, please take a few minutes to read these two pages: How to write a Couch Request and How to be a good guest). More information about Couch Requests below.
