Is it safe to visit Columbia? Or should I avoid this South American country because it has been considered "dangerous" to travel? If you want to miss one of the most beautiful, vibrant and fascinating destinations in the world, stay at home. But if you stay at home, you will never discover the charming colonial architecture of Cartagena, the museums, galleries, and theaters of Bogotá, or the snow-capped mountains and sandy beaches of Santa Marta. You can never say that you have been to the salsa capital of Latin America or that you have walked on the land where your morning cup of coffee originated. Safety is always a legitimate concern, as is putting life in your life.
Columbia was not always safe; In fact, just a few years ago, even the most intelligent traveler would have been unaware of the treasures of this country because the region was too dangerous. Today, the travel situation has improved considerably and most areas are safe for tourists. However, there are areas you want to avoid due to guerrilla fighting and drug dealers. These tend to be concentrated in the south, southeast and northwest parts of the country, as well as in the rural areas bordering Venezuela.
Why try your luck? It is not always worth traveling to conflict zones; However, in the case of Columbia, the areas frequented by tourists are safe and the people of the nation are proud, hospitable and helpful. It is always worth exercising caution and common sense when traveling.
Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, is a tourist region; In fact, it is safer than many cities in South America and Washington DC in the United States. You will find incredible sites, a fascinating combination of contemporary and historical elements and wonderful attractions. You can spend a happy holiday exploring Bogotá and its surroundings, and sweeter, its surroundings.
Visit the incomparable La Candelaria district, which is full of museums, centuries-old churches and winding streets closed to traffic. The Plaza de Bolívar, the Narino Palace, the Luis A Arango library and even the houses and buildings that you pass through contribute to the history and culture of this great city. Explore the Presidential Palace, the Gold Museum or the modern Chorro de Quevedo district. Discover the Ibero-American Theater Festival, the largest theater festival in the world (organized every 2 years in April), or go to Seventh Avenue every Friday and Sunday evening to see street performances, shows of magic and music Live in the festive atmosphere.
Columbia is vibrant, colorful and well worth a visit. Be careful, no doubt. But don't steal such an incredible experience.
