Travel with Children

Like most Latin Americans, Colombians adore children. Due to a high rate of population growth, children make up a significant proportion of the population, and they are omnipresent.
Few foreigners travel with children in Colombia, but if you do plan on taking along your offspring, they will find plenty of local companions.
Almost all attractions in Colombia offer discounted admission for children.

Practicalities

You can buy disposable diapers (nappies) and baby food in supermarkets and pharmacies.
There are quite a few shops devoted to kids' clothes, shoes and toys; Pepeganga (www.pepeganga.com) in particular is recommended.
Most restaurants with a menu, which excludes cheap set-lunch places, will have high chairs available for small children.
Baby-changing facilities are not standard in public toilets and are rare in men's facilities.
Breastfeeding in public remains controversial in some sectors of Colombian society although education programs are seeing attitudes slowly changing.
