Why do some people think that Cali is dangerous?
Hey All.
I just got back from Medellin. My 2nd visit in Colombia. I've been to Bogota as well.
While visiting Medellin, I befriend couple of non colombians on vacation from US, Australia, England. They all said. Cali is dangerous and that they would be hesitant to go visit Cali at this time. Why is Cali dangerous? I heard about some bombing a year ago? Is there more FARC presence in Cali?
Can someone give me a lesson the Cali? Its economy? Why it would be dangerous? Even someone on this board, said Cali is the lease safest city compare to Medellin, Bogota, Cartagena.
I think they Cali has produced alot of hot ass Colombian bikini models; Lorena Orozco, Paola Corvea, Andrea Rincon aka Selena Spice. If you haven't heard of them. Google or yahoo. Your jaws will drop!
I appreciate if someone can explain I the details the dangers of Cali for me?
Thank you!
Re: Cali how dangerous is it?
I agree that there alot of people without jobs and you have to be careful at night. But I have been to Cali 4 times now and plan to go back in a month or so. I got sick the first time there and needed medical assitance. The hotel staff was very helpful and I was not charged for the paramedics that came to my room. I was obviously grateful to all and I was asked only for one thing from the staff. That was to tell people I know that they are good people (Colombians) and not murderers and drug trafficers as what the media tends to paint them as.
I am not saying you shouldn't be careful. Use common sense when in countries or areas like Cali. It helps in Cali if you can speak Spanish as I am fluent in Spanish I have no trouble getting around and meeting women. I have had 3 girlfriends from Cali and they all have been incredible in bed. Of course they are hoping to have you fall in love with them to take them out of Cali.
