The Consular Information Sheet on
Colombia from the U.S. Department of State, warns
"The security situation in Colombia is volatile. Violence by narcotraffickers, paramilitary groups, guerrilla and terrorist organizations, and other criminal elements is widespread and increasing in certain areas. Travel by road outside the major cities is especially dangerous because of guerrilla activity in rural areas.
Some terrorist groups have targeted foreigners, multinational companies and other foreign interests, and this pattern is expected to continue in the future."
Addtionally, the Australian Consular Advice and the
Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice advise
against tourism in Colombia at this time.
Please plan to visit Colombia in more tranquil times.
