With a population of 128,153, Rionegro is no sleepy backwater. This Andean city in eastern Colombia boasts a thriving economy fueled by industries, agriculture, and trade - but don't expect an easy ride. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the damp, chilly climate can be a shock to the system. Still, for those undaunted by paperwork and seeking an affordable, bustling Colombian hub, Rionegro may fit the bill.
