Posts: 1316I find this information to be accurate. Always ask yourself what would you offer if it's not too late if you find yourself in a precarious situation.
Avoid all travel to the following areas due to the risk of kidnapping and violent crime posed by the presence of illegal armed groups and other criminal organizations:
The area within 20 km of the border with Venezuela.
The area within 20 km of the border with Panama.
The area within 20 km of the border with Ecuador.
The ports of Buenaventura and Tumaco.
Avoid non-essential travel to the following departments due to drug-related criminal activity by illegal armed groups and other criminal organizations:
Antioquia (excluding the cities of Carmen de Viboral, Medellin and Rionegro, the Jos Mara Cordova International Airport and the road to this airport).
Arauca.
Caqueta.
Cauca (excluding Popoyan).
Choco (excluding the capital, Quibdo, and the whale-watching towns of Bania Solano, Capurgan and Nuqu).
Cordoba (excluding the capital, Montera).
Guainia.
Guaviare.
Meta (excluding the capital, Villavicencio).
Narino (excluding the capital, Pasto).
Norte de Santander.
Putumayo.
Tolima (excluding the city of Ibague).
Valle del Cauca (excluding the capital, Cali).
Vichada.
If you intend to travel to the any of the above excluded areas, do so by air. Exercise a high degree of caution at all times.

1. You plan on arguing loudly, in public, with Colombians, either for or against FARC.
2. You plan on attempting to purchase a few tons of coke.
3. You plan on exploring the remote areas of Colombia without qualified guides.
Of course these things were all problems before this recent development, so from the typical tourist perspective nothing has changed.
A civil war that spanned 2 generations doesn't disappear overnight. The US Civil War only lasted 4 years and 155 years later people are still waving the losing flag.

The places to avoid in Colombia are remote rural areas with nothing to offer anyways.

The two places I wanted to go this winter were Cucuta and Cali (and maybe a drive down to Buenaventura). F!ck those FARC douchebags.

Best way to move around in Bogota. You don't need cash-is all app based and safer. Even though I've never had problems with yellow cabs and speak Spanish there is the rare time when they might overcharge a foreigner. But most of the time is fine so don't be afraid to use them either.

The Colombian Peso is now at 3,400 to the US Dollar. Could make things a little cheaper in Colombia. Like in the bars and casas with the chicas, you can save a few a few bucks.
