About Pereira
Pereira is a compact, vibrant city in Colombia's Coffee Region with a warm tropical climate and lower cost of living than major hubs, making it increasingly popular with remote workers seeking affordability and genuine Colombian culture. The city offers decent internet connectivity, a growing coworking scene, and excellent local food, though it lacks the large expat infrastructure of Medellín and has limited nightlife compared to larger destinations. Safety has improved significantly, though some neighborhoods require caution, and the steep terrain can challenge those seeking high walkability.
