Is this a joke?

Maybe it is then

I returned from my trip to Colombia completely unscathed, but I wouldn’t go so far as to label Colombia a “safe” place to travel. With the right amount of vigilance, however, you too should be able to travel to Colombia and return with your belongings and person intact.

[link to leaveyourdailyhell.com]




The Department of State strongly encourages U.S. citizens to exercise caution and remain vigilant as terrorist and criminal activities remain a threat throughout the country. Explosions occur throughout Colombia on a regular basis, including in Bogota. Small towns and rural areas of Colombia can be extremely dangerous due to the presence of terrorists and criminal elements, including armed gangs (referred to as "BACRIM" in Spanish), that are active throughout much of the country. Violence associated with the BACRIM has spilled over into many of Colombia's major cities. These groups are heavily involved in the drug trade, extortion, kidnapping, and robbery.

Two of my girlfriend's friends are going to Colombia backpacking for three weeks. They're blonde, very pretty and not street smart having grown up in the Austrian Allps. I've got a bad feeling about it but I see Colombia is claiming it's now safe for tourists, anyone got real info on the situation?

Re: Is Colombia safe for backpackers? Two 23 year old blonde girls specifically.
Well, dont take this the wrong way but your "two" friends do not seem to be intelligent enough to be going backpacking anywhere alone. It only takes 5 seconds to google the obvious answer to that.
Then again using common sense SHOULD have been enough to deter them from even questioning going backpacking in Colombia.

Its about as safe as back packing alone through Syria or Lebanon.
That being said, going back packing alone in Colombia they will probably end up in Syria or Lebanon and not by choice.

"Violence associated with the BACRIM has spilled over into many of Colombia's major cities. These groups are heavily involved in the drug trade, extortion, kidnapping, and robbery.

Violence associated with crime is a threat throughout Colombia. During the period November 2014 to January 2016, there were several homicides of U.S. citizens in connection with robberies, including armed robbery on streets and in taxi cabs, public transport, home invasions, and muggings. The victims represented a mix of tourists, long-term residents and persons with dual U.S.-Colombian citizenship.

The incidence of kidnapping in Colombia has diminished significantly from its peak in 2000. However, kidnapping remains a threat. Terrorist groups and other criminal organizations continue to kidnap and hold civilians, including foreigners, for ransom. No one is immune from kidnapping on the basis of occupation, nationality, or other factors"

They have something there called "devil's dust" - comes from a tree I believe. Someone passing you can blow some on you with a simple hand to the mouth coughing gesture and it acts as a date rape drug. You function normally but your right/wrong brain function is impaired. They can also use it to get you to give them your valuables or to get you to withdraw money from your bank or ATM. The CIA has been using it since the 60's, can't remember the technical name for it.

if they've been watching TV lately they probably think men are pussies and women only need to swat a limp wrist at them to KO them in droves, see: Salt, Underworld, Kickass, and a million other "join the army girls!" movies with the superbabe-superkillah "FeminatOr" lead character. And yes the UFC has girls in it now, notice how they never fight the men? the reason? they would get utterly destroyed and hospitalized.

rant

this isn't the brightest idea these girls ever had but in the end they will either have the time of their lives or end up gang-raped and chopped up into little bits.

on balance the odds are probably in favor of time of their lives but those odds would be much higher somewhere like australia...

"nger problems?" It's a LATINO problem.

These women would probably be safer backpacking across the whole of African than they would just going across ONE country in Latin America ...

I know a woman who has traveled all over the horn of Africa, and even she wouldn't go south of the border ...

My brother hitchhiked all the way down to Argentina from Maryland in the seventies. He traveled with a guy and two women. One was raped south of Mexico. She expected it and survived. If you drive in a big SUV which is not likely to break down, you may be OK. No I would say it absolutely not safe. They would be lucky to get back alive.

To be fair, yes tourists sometimes die in SA countries. However, when it happens it is sensationalized in the international media for months. If that same tourist was raped and killed in their own country they would barely get news coverage. A tourist, especially a woman, gets horrendous amounts of coverage and will be talked about for a couple of years afterwards. The amount of tourist deaths are relatively low.

That being said, it's not a good idea to go to SA and hook up with every shady local who offers you a good time. Always stay in touristy areas and when doing excursions, go with groups of people. Let common sense prevail. Don't get into taxis alone in the cities, don't get into taxis coming out of banks, don't do overnite bus trips, don't go outside of touristic areas. If your friends are smart they should be fine. They will have to be extra sharp though, to beat off every latin male within arms reach if they are attractive blondes.
