Colombia Travel - People have mixed points of view when they think of Colombia travel. On one hand, there are those who view this as a laid-back place with all the charm of a tropical paradise plus the romanticism of South American mountain resorts. It is true that there are still anti-government insurgents in Colombia. And here are anti-American passions among many as well. However the situation has improved somewhat and the cities of Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, and Baranquilla are, according to the U.S. State Department, much safer than they had been before. The City of Cali still continues to be a very violent place because of the drug trade. Rural and outlying areas can be dangerous too because of the narcotics terrorist activity and the government forces fighting against them.

It is for these reasons that you should always fly between cities in Colombia rather than drive or take the local buses. The remote highways are where many kidnappings, murders, and robberies take place on foreigners. But it’s like any type of travel overseas. You should take basic precautions mostly to protect yourself against petty theft. Stay in groups and don’t walk the streets at night. For most traveling overseas, risks are a way of life and the thrill of visiting a new place far outweighs them.
