First of all, we are seasoned travelers; we've traveled for months through Africa, S. Am, NZ, and Europe. The issue is not Colombia's beauty but rather a major infrastructure problem in a city where the police do not try to assist a robbery at knife point. It is misleading to advertise that the only danger is wanting to stay. On the contrary, the US state department informed us crime against tourists has recently risen there.
No, the risk is getting attached and robbed buy a gang with knives as the police watch from forty feet away doing nothing as you call for help. This happened to my girlfriend and I on Christmas day 2010 on a crowded street in El Centro. Bogota is dirty, dangerous and the police are corrupt. Avoid! I'm a seasoned traveler try Peru or Central America instead!
@erickr1150r Colombia is amazing, I hope I can go back someday! When I was there we also had an unpleasant experience with my friend but that doesn't mean we don't absolutely love this place, it's just enchanting. Stupid travelers are - stupid. I hope nobody will take advice from such travel rookies.
Bad things can happen anywhere, that shouldn't make you hate the country and its people. If that would be the case, people would probably be saying this shit about you and your country too,
@erickr1150r El Centre, in many cities of Colombia and many countries is dangerous, but you have to know where you gonna go, and don't go out with valuable things in that kind of places... Colombia is beautiful, the problem is that travelers don't pay attention to many things!!!
@erickr1150r Come on!!! seriously? have you ever tryed NY streets at night? Gangs are everywhere just like robbery and corruption. WAKE UP. Anyway on behalf of Colombia people. I'm really sorry that you had to experience such a mankind sin in my country and my city. If you ever come again call me and I'd wellcome you in my home as family... just like most of colombian people would do. bless
If you are one of them that goes and tries to show of, you got what you deserve, and as a proud Colombian I wish you never go back because people like you should not leave their backyard.
have someone been there? (the ones judgin) i you do!.. i will had to tell that you were really stupid by no approaching all the good things this country was. Every kind of problems of vandalism or whatever you think this country has.. happens EVERYWHERE around the world... i will think in your country too! so don't be that stupid and uncultured by comment such an stupid thing! go if you haven't go and you will come with a different point of view!
@hidri5 i will answer you i went to both places and you know what wow! colombia is so much better... i had a friend there that took me to so many places were i really was amazed! wow! so much nature animal, o wow! bogota is beautiful! wow! i will really repeat that trip it has been my best experience in me life! i invite you to go because is a really nice place! and well looking all the comments i have to say that is obvious that is not the safeties place on earth but is not the worst one!

@hidri5 Hey. I have been to Mexico yes and I loved it! I didn't go to the northern cities (US border) and I hope I can come back someday. Are you going?
If you people wanna get money ~ you better bag !!! or Make it by ur self !!!!! This is insane !! How people could be like this !~This video is totally lie !!
@wisedox have you been there? i you do i will had to tell that you were really stupid by no approaching all the good things this country was. Every kind of problems of vandalism or whatever you think this country has.. happens EVERYWHERE around the world... i will think in your country too! so don't be that stupid and uncultured by comment such an.. thing! go if you haven't go and you will come with a different point of view!
A coulple of weeks ago,I went to Columbia.. They've got such a nice place for travellers as jungles, middle age contructions. I could see lots of thing and have a plenty of fun..but I got my arm stabbed by 2 guys wanting to take my money and camera. which makes columbia sucks and people are crazy !!!
One of people that I met on travelling in Bolivia, who's from Canada, has the exactly same experience..
@wisedox im sorry you had a bad experience but i can say the same of your country.. i dont know from were you are but i can assure you that anywhere that happens... so lets judge us for being that comfortable and not be carful were we are going.. because colOmbia is a really nice and beautiful place!
... Sorry about the bad point... the fast click habit that i have, anyway, if there is some1 that can talk and prove that colombia is unsafe in this moment... please.. got to hell. Colombia is a great conutry wtih alot of stuffs that can make u fell in another world, and the best part ar the women... they r the most pretty Latin girls in LatinAmerica, with the Brasilian and Argentine girls... the country is Awsome so dont be a fool and go.. u wont beleve the things that u can do
After six weeks in this amazing country I wholeheartedly agree with the message in the video. Never been to a place as welcoming as Colombia before (and have travelled extensively). Colombia: number 1 !!
OH WOW..WHAT IGNORANT COMMENTS..Colombia is a great place..you guys dont know what you're missing....too bad..so sad..Colombia is a lot safer right now than a lot of othher countries..do your research
i lOOOOOOOOVE YOUUU
