When it comes to choosing a travel destination, Colombia is rarely one of the first choices, mainly due to its poor image in terms of crime and security. Foreign travelers still believe that there is crime everywhere in Colombia, making it dangerous for travel. Indeed, there are still a few areas in the country where it is wise not to travel. Realistically speaking, however, Colombia has made great progress in this regard, and travelers can safely enjoy most of the beauties of the country unhindered.
