Safety information: Colombia’s safety challenges are well-documented, but as Intrepid Travel’s general manager for Colombia, Hernan Acevedo, says (see the ‘Tools’ tab), infrastructure for tourists is continually improving. “You can reassure customers of the enhanced safety measures being put in place,” he says, adding that small group tours are a good way to explore the country with the safety net of a local guide who can provide assistance when needed.
