For over five years, I've worked remotely as a content creator\u2014opening my laptop on every continent. But no place has captivated me quite like South America. The combination of low living costs, fantastic food, inspiring nature, and a growing community of digital nomads makes this continent the perfect workplace for anyone who works remotely. In this guide, I'll introduce you to the best places to work in South America\u2014based on my own experiences, not any rankings.<\/p>\n
There's a reason why Medell\u00edn has consistently ranked number one in most nomad rankings for years: the city simply delivers on all fronts. The weather is spring-like year-round (22-28\u00b0C; they don't call it the "City of Eternal Spring" for nothing), the internet is fast and reliable, the cost of living is low, and the atmosphere is both productive and relaxed.<\/p>\n
I spent a total of three months in Medell\u00edn, spread over two stays. My base was the El Poblado neighborhood\u2014the city's expat hub with dozens of cafes, coworking spaces, and restaurants. The infrastructure for remote workers here is better than in most major German cities: fiber optic internet with speeds of 100+ Mbps in every cafe, power outlets at every table, and baristas who are used to people sitting at their laptops for hours.<\/p>\n
