How Colombia works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Colombia, Popayán leads at 62/100 — cost 47, climate 100, safety 44; warmest-month highs around 17.0°C and coldest-month lows near 16.5°C give you a feel for the seasons. Tunja is the pure-budget play at cost 49/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Colombia before booking anything long-term.
