I have been living in Pasto for 5 months now and I must say that I feel very safe in this city. Nothing crazy has happened. I don’t go out at night alone, so about this I cannot share any experience.

It’s safe during the daytime depending on the area. Try to avoid going out in the evening since 21:00. Try to use your phone in closed areas only. It is very unlikely but it might be stolen in the street
