Teaching jobs in Colombia are in high demand. Colombia sits in the north-west corner of South America, bordered by the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean.

The Andes Mountains extend into the country in three ranges running south to north, with territory also encompassing Amazon rainforest, tropical grassland and extensive coastline. There are also 15 active volcanoes within the country. With over 45 million inhabitants, Colombia has the second largest population in South America. It is also home to the fourth-largest number of Spanish speakers in the world after Mexico, the United States, and Spain.

Remarkably diverse, interactions between descendants of the original native inhabitants, Spanish colonists, Africans brought as slaves and twentieth-century immigrants from Europe and the Middle East have produced a uniquely rich cultural heritage. Recent years have seen significant increases in military strength and police p resence throughout the country, pushing rebel groups further away from the major cities, highways and tourist sites. Colombia's cuisine, influenced heavily by the Spanish and Indigenous populations, offers a range of delectable dishes to try, not to mention fruits, rum, and world-renowned Colombian coffee. English teaching jobs in Colombia start in February/March and July/August time period.

The English teaching job market in Colmbia is very good in Bogata, Santiago de Cali Bucaramanga, Santa Marta, Barranquilla and other larger cities.
