If San Cristóbal is mountain magic and Oaxaca is mezcal and mole, then Medellín is pure energy! Known as the city of eternal spring (25°C sunshine pretty much year-round), Medellín has become one of the top digital nomad hubs in Latin America. It’s vibrant, innovative, and ridiculously livable… so don’t be surprised if you come “just for a month” and end up rearranging your life plans.

Working with a view

The best part about Medellín is the lifestyle! Days here are a balance of productivity and play. You’ll find yourself eating arepas for breakfast, hopping into a cable car to see the city from above, and practicing your Spanish with friendly paisas (locals).
And then there’s the nightlife… whether it’s a quiet rooftop bar, live music in Laureles, or full reggaeton in El Poblado, Medellín has something for everyone.

Living the Medellín lifestyle

Cute cafés in Laureles with leafy courtyards (slightly less touristy than El Poblado).

Co404 Medellín for coworking + coliving + built-in community (yes, we had to mention it 😉).

Dozens of coworking spaces around El Poblado and Laureles, catering to all styles and budgets.

Medellín is made for remote workers. Strong internet, endless cafés, and coworking spaces that feel more like creative playgrounds than offices. Imagine logging into your morning meeting while overlooking the lush green hills and mountains, then swapping Slack for salsa class in the evening.

Nomad-friendly work spots:

Explore beyond your laptop

  • When you slam that laptop shut and you’re ready for adventure, Medellín definitely delivers:
  • Ride the Metrocable up into the hills for views and a taste of local life.
  • Take a day trip to Guatapé - the seriously quirky rainbow-colored lakeside town. Climb the 740 steps of El Peñol rock for one of the most jaw-dropping views in Colombia- it’s worth every breathless minute!
  • Wander through Comuna 13, once off-limits, now a living canvas of street art, music, and resilience, with the friendliest people!
  • Get into nature with hikes through the surrounding Andes or a weekend escape to Colombia’s Coffee Region.

Food, coffee, and arepas (lots of arepas)

  • Colombia takes coffee seriously, and Medellín’s café culture proves it. Between coworking sessions, you’ll sip some of the best brews in the world, often grown just a few hours away. Pair that with fresh fruit juices (they have all the tropical fruits you’ve never heard of) and hearty local eats like bandeja paisa, and you’ll never go hungry.
  • Vegans and vegetarians, don’t worry. Medellín has a growing scene of plant-based restaurants and wellness cafés, especially around Laureles and Manila in El Poblado.

Why digital nomads fall in love with Medellín

Medellín is affordable, social, and full of opportunities to learn, connect, and grow. The city reinvented itself into a hub of innovation, and that creative energy is contagious. You’ll find expats of all ages here - solo travelers, couples, and even families - each adding their own spark to the community.
It’s a city that gives you balance: mornings of deep work, afternoons of adventure, evenings of connection. And with Co404 Medellín as your base, you’ve got a built-in family waiting to welcome you!
Here at Co404, we have a fire pit in our gorgeous garden for cozy evenings connecting with friends, playing music, and sharing stories… even toasting marshmallows!

Come for the spring weather, stay for the people. Medellín is ready for you.
