Hi there, I’m reposting this because the two replies to my question were really nice, but one was from someone who traveled to Colombia five years ago, and the other from someone who’s never been. Plus, my question got buried in a completely off-topic discussion. To clarify, I’d love **RECENT** info on safety in Colombia right now. So, here it is again.

I’m planning a trip to Colombia this summer. I’ve read a lot about safety there—everything and its opposite. You, Colombia experts, after your recent return from Colombia, would you say it’s a country where you can travel safely today? We don’t plan to visit narco or paramilitary zones. What about the current political situation? We’re traveling as a couple, without a tour. Thanks for your replies.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve already checked out the tips on the Ministry’s website.

Good evening Dr Carter, I read your feedback with pleasure. Thanks, it’s really nice to have a firsthand account. We’re planning a trip to Colombia this summer. I have a question about your trip in August. How would you describe the safety situation in Colombia at that time? I’m struggling to get a clear picture. It seems like things have worsened since August, but the reports are mixed, and I’m completely in the dark. I did ask about "safety in Colombia," but the discussion was derailed by people who’ve never set foot in Colombia—or whose last visit was back in 2020. Such a shame. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Ivert Could you tell me a bit more? Was your trip to Colombia recent? Thanks

Hi there, After being thoroughly insulted—with broken French where rudeness competed with vulgarity—just for daring to ask a poster if their trip to Colombia was recent, I see everything’s been deleted, and I’ve missed what happened next. Maybe this person will apologize. Thanks to those who shed some light on the behavior of certain posters. But not a single serious answer to my question.

Hi Manon from the Gard region. Thanks for your quick reply. My concern is about the current situation in Colombia. Was your trip to Colombia recent? I’d love to hear from a traveler who’s just come back from Colombia. It seems like safety in Colombia is getting worse, even though things were improving before. But opinions on this vary a lot. Travelers in Colombia, thanks for your input.

Hi there, I’m planning a trip to Colombia this summer. I’ve been reading a lot about safety in Colombia—everything and its opposite. For those of you who know Colombia, currently, would you say it’s a country where you can travel safely? I don’t plan on going to narco or paramilitary zones. What about the political situation? I’m traveling as a couple, without any tour organization. I just signed up and I’m still figuring out how this forum works—I didn’t know where to look for answers. Thanks.
