Amazing and safe! Solo traveling through Colombia was incredible! From vibrant cities to lush jungles, every day was an adventure. Met amazing people, felt safe, and fell in love with the culture. Can’t wait to go back! 🇨🇴

I felt safe almost everywhere except in Plaza de Botero in Medellin were they have statues from the artist, that park felt sketchy and there were too much people walking around randomly. I like a vegan sushi I bought there in Medellín twice but overall vegan food.. they didn't have much. I spent around $300 dollars in everything that included the hotel where I stayed in the same room with mom and sister, then a whole bus to take us from our hotel to the touristic sites for 3 or 5 days I think it was and then I spent like a $100 on souvenirs.

I only had 2 beers at the bar and when I was walking home with my partner I could not keep my eyes open. I was literally falling asleep as we were walking home and I had never felt like this before. - and to happen for drinking 2 beers- nope! Usually it’s the women sex workers who drug men to take their money, etc but not always.

Tumaco is a great place. The people are friendly and beautiful, the beach is a tremendously impressive and imposing place. I lived there for 9 years and was delighted, now that I've left, I miss it because it really left a mark on me. You need to go and visit.

I was volunteering in the mountains near Cali and on my days off, booked the hostel Patio del Rio and had such an amazing time. The employees there Andres and Thomas were so warm and welcoming and showed me around the city, I met tons of lovely people and even baked a banana bread for everyone in the hostel! I would reccomend going out at night with locals, or at the very least go with large groups of people. Safety in numbers.

Bogota is a wonderful place, actually Colombia in general is. U have to be careful like other countries and stay alert, but u can enjoy all time in restaurant, bars, hotels, walking around the cities. Etc. We have a lot of things to do. Try and come to Colombia.
