Colombia has made significant strides in improving safety for tourists. While some areas should be avoided, popular tourist destinations are generally safe. It's always advisable to stay informed about local conditions, follow travel advisories, and take standard precautions such as avoiding isolated areas at night and keeping an eye on personal belongings.
What should I pack for an excursion in Colombia?
Packing for Colombia depends on the regions you plan to visit. Lightweight clothing is ideal for the warm coastal areas, while layers are recommended for the cooler highlands. Don't forget essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable walking shoes, and a reusable water bottle.

What is the best time of year to visit Colombia?
Colombia is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your interests. The dry season, from December to March, is ideal for beach vacations and outdoor activities. The wet season, from April to November, brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists, making it perfect for exploring the Amazon and other natural attractions.

Colombians are known for their warmth and hospitality. It's polite to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek. When dining, wait for the host to start eating before you begin.
