Infrastructure In Colombia
Generally, infrastructure in Colombia is in need of improvement, but it’s constantly being improved. The past 15 years, in particular, have seen dramatic improvements across the country.
Three mountain chains in heavily-populated areas mean that road construction or maintenance is difficult and costly.
Initiatives in recent decades have made Colombia competitive within its regional market, but more needs to be done before Colombia has uniformly good national infrastructure.
Pockets of Colombia are much better-developed than others. Cities and their suburbs are modern, well-developed, and constantly improved. Rural and remote regions, though, don’t receive as much attention.

Roads In Colombia
Colombia has some of the poorest roads in the world, ranked 130th out of 148 countries.
Road travel in Colombia, including Bogota can be challenging and roads are usually congested.
Challenging geography—the Andes is split into three chains and the Pacific coast backs onto jungle—as well as roads in poor condition mean Colombia has the second-fewest vehicles per person in South America.
Highway closures due to landslides resulting from heavy rains and seismic activity can occur.
Infrastructure In Colombia: Internet
Fourth Generation, the ambitious nation-wide road improvement project announced by President Santos in 2014, is expected to nearly halve travel times between cities.
At the start of 2023 Colombia’s internet penetration rate stood at 75.7% of the total population. Also, the country reached more than 41 million mobile accesses to internet by the end of the second quarter of 2023.
Internet access in urban parts of Colombia is swift and reliable, outside of the main centers things are also improving fast. Tough competition among cellular service providers is resulting in falling local and international calling rates.
