    Congratulations on scratching the surface of this beautiful Country. You should go to Leticia / Amazonia on the next trip as well as Caño Cristales. It looks like you were in the wrong neighborhood in Cali but it is a lively place to go in December for La Fiesta de Cali! It’s an experience like no other! Please do go to Bogota as it is filled with history and lots of culture. Also, we are not so keen on promoting Escobar or any tours that glorify that murderer’s existence. Looking forward to following you on your next adventure. Cheers and happy travels!! ❤

    Heads up about Palamino. It is a very safe and secure area, but going there has made me very aware of the dark side of tourism. The area is rumored to be controlled by the paramilitary, which is the reason why all the businesses close promptly at 11 pm. Additionally, it is an avenue that is overrun with businesses not owned by the locals. If you are interested in sustainable tourism, I would recommend omitting this town.

Medellin is wayyyyyyyyy more dangerous now with the amount of first time idiot travelers walking around with bling bling or staring into their phones. Where there is honey.....there are bees. I have been all around the country and even just walked through most of the dangerous barrios in Cali/Bogota/Medellin. Even walked around Comuna 13 in 2004 before all of the glitz and glamour. Cali is only Dangerous if you put yourself into trouble with folks or just walk around with your head stuck up yer a**.
