With a population of just 56,398, Mocoa is a sleepy, remote capital city that offers little to attract expats or visitors. Located in the northwest of the Putumayo department, this municipality is plagued by persistent safety concerns - in 2017, devastating mudslides killed over 254 people and left hundreds more missing. The bureaucratic headaches of living here are also likely to be a constant source of frustration. Unless you have a specific reason to be in this isolated corner of Colombia, Mocoa is best avoided.
