Bogota - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?

I would presume so if it’s an especially rainy year but can’t speak from experience. - May 2024


No, other than people feeling down during long bouts of rain. - Aug 2023


It’s cool year round in Bogotá. “Summer” is Dec- Feb. but it does not get that warm. Luckily you can escape to the lower elevation country side or fly to the coast for warm weather. - Feb 2021


First few days can be tough because of the altitude. - Jul 2020


Nothing specific to Colombia. - Feb 2020


I think there can be a little frustration with living in basically perpetual fall as the sunrise and sunset times only change by a few minutes over the course of the year. The weather doesn't change much either, though within a day, it can feel chilly or hot, depending on sunshine, shade and breezes. It rains often, but usually not for long. - Sep 2018


It rains a lot in Bogota, but when it is nice weather, it's amazing. :) - Aug 2018


Road rage. - May 2018
