This Is What Daily Life Looks Like in Bogotá’s Estrato 3

ABOUT THIS VIDEO I spent my first year in Bogotá living in an Estrato 3 neighborhood ,and in this video, I show you what life there actually looks like. We walk through Rio Negro, a real working-class Bogotá neighborhood, and look at prices, food, groceries, barbers, dry cleaning, street life, safety, utilities, and what “estrato” really means in Colombia. If you’re thinking about moving to Bogotá, retiring in Colombia, or just trying to understand how daily life works here, this video gives you a real look beyond the tourist areas.
