Must have apps

Check-Mig

This is the app you need to download even before traveling to Colombia. CheckMig allows travelers, nationals, and foreigners who intend to enter or leave Colombia, to preload all the information related to their trip.

Rappi

Rappi is a delivery app that can help you with everything from groceries to medicine and even cash. With Rappi, you can get anything delivered anytime.

If you are staying for a long term, we recommend you to upgrade to premium because it is really worth it.

Didi

Didi is the Chinese version of Uber but cheaper. So this is a second option if you see Uber too expensive or busy.

Picap

Picap is an alternative transportation service that you can use when you are in a hurry and cannot quickly find a taxi, Uber, or private driver. With PICAP, a motorcycle will take you to your destination in just a few minutes.

This motorcycle transport is popular in cities like Medellín.

Mercado Libre

Mercado Libre is the marketplace of excellence in Colombia. If you plan to buy furniture, technology, or any other items that you would normally find on Amazon, you can use Mercado Libre to have them delivered to your home faster.

ExpressVPN

Once again, we're addressing our digital nomad readers. We'd like to share the VPN we use while traveling. It works perfectly in Colombia and is really useful.

Google Translate

I think you already have this downloaded, but just in case, we recommend this one. We know you will use it a lot in Colombia, where the level of English is not very high.

Duolingo

Just like our recommendation about Google Translate. Duolingo is a great app to practice your Spanish before, during, and after your trip to Colombia.
