V!VA User‘s Description

Say ‘Colombia’ and most people will immediately think of something negative; drugs, guerrilla warfare, corruption, kidnappings, crime.

So, if you stick to certain areas, don’t stray too far from the main tourist areas and heed current safety advice, there is no reason why you shouldn’t include it in your itinerary.

Upsides and downsides of Colombia

Rating: 100%

The people are open and friendly, the countryside is beautiful. On the other hand, the smog and traffic in Bogota are terrible. Stop signs are a mere suggestion.
