Well, Don Gringo is alive and well, since I actually did see him in Medellin. DG has lots of knowledge regarding Colombia.   Medellin, been a year since I was there, but now its expanded, with Poblado doubling in size of development.  Everyone seems…

Ferran's post could also be read another way. Read it again, only this time, replace Colombia with the USA, but when he talks of the president, then it would be Bush, not the current one. Ok, seriously, you will find the descriptions suit almost ev…

Wow! And here I was once again contemplating shifting from Panama to Colombia. But if Ferrans analysis holds true, then Panama, despite the garbage all over the frikkin place is still a paradise......innocent, childish but happy and helpful and the…

the bus is only 4,500 from Rionegro to Medellin and about 45 minutes. Yes well I recomend 61 prado in Medellin in Prado Centro unless you want the party hostal scene then up at Kiwi in pablado. But at 61 prado I think it is like 30K a night. Private…

OK DG thanks, the clean mountain air is nice, but what about a hotel down the other side of the mountain, in Medellin? any cheap good hotels? the taxi fares add up round trip from RioNegro to Medellin.
December 16, 2009
best to call and ask on the availability of with private bath. The hotel in rionegro is in rionegro. just a note if you fly with Aires to Medellin they fly you to Rionegro but offer a free bus service to Medellin. They are cheap too.

The have some with private baths and some without I beleive but best to ask for availability with private bath. The other hotel is in Rionegro

OK thanks for information on the Bogota Hotel, good info. But does the 20,000room have a private bathroom, or a shared bathroom with other people??? The RioNegro Hotel looks nice, but is it up in the mountains, by the RioNegro airport???, if so the…

OK OK you maniacs before you ask me what hotel in Rionegro here it is, this is much nicer than the hotel in Chapinero of course. I think it is 60k a night but on a monthly rate it is very cheap at 500,000k a month. Hotel Oasis Carrera 50 No 46-23 t…

Owen I think answered it nicely.I have beeninthe hotel a couple times. Itis not the sheraton or the Holiday inbutitisclean and itis cheap. There are plenty like this around if you look. Private bath? If you ask for one I guess. It is about 10 minute…

It is possible, David. Ok it was 10 years ago, or more, that I first came to Bogota, but when I did, mi amiga fixed me up in a lovely little hotel, near Chapinero, for about 5 UKpounds per night. (about 20,000pesos). prices have altered over the yea…

Rooms have a private bathroom? 20,000 I find hard to believe. Is it a hostal or a hotel? Approx. How minutes in taxi from hotel to Andino? to Parque93? thank you Bogota must be a ghost town during Christmas though new years.

They compromise productivity for cheap labor and hopefully come out ahead. In business it is always my opinion that you have to play the game. If the executive does not live in the right neighborhood and hang with the right people then well he is go…

How do multi-national companies deal with these Colombian people then? You cannot micro-manage everything, alot countries have contracts with Colobian companies. What do I look for when hiring a Colombian executive ? or a techical professional , lik…
