I really want to travel to Colombia to discover this beautiful country. But everyone is telling me how dangerous the country is. Did you have any bad experience during your stay in Colombia? Did you take any special precautions (like not going outside of the main cities etc.)? Or is the situation really as bad (or worse) as the media are claiming and you should rather travel somewhere else?
Thanks for advice!

There are many tourist and back packers that travel through Colombia and many expats that live in Colombia. Of course you would want to take your common sense and natural precaution with you when traveling to Colombia, like you would anywhere else. Like anywhere else there are certain sections of cities / towns that are lower income and a little risky or dangerous to walk through. The only areas that run a medium to high risk of danger are the boarders and jungle areas (Precaution).
I've traveled through out most of Central and South America, met many back packers and other tourist and have yet to hear any bad experiences accept for the occasional theft of un-supervised bags and items. (Common sense).

Hi Tania,
Im colombian, Colombia is not so dangerous as the media shows... you have to take some precuations... where are you planning to go?
For exmaple Bogota, is very nice... I have been in many european cities and Bogota is really nice, but there you cant take taxi in the street, if you are in the city center you have to have a low profil: not showing that you have a exppensice camera or watch!
There are many regions where you can go ... other are "zonas rojas", which use to be places of conflict and is better not to go there (Meta, Vichada, Putumayo)... but you can go to Villa de Leyva, Cartagena, Medellin, Amazonas, Calia, Barranquilla...
If you need further information you can contact me,
kind regards,
Maria
