Security Alert: USA Embassy Bogota – Cartagena Independence Day Festivities 2023.
Location: Cartagena.
Event: The Embassy advises USA Citizens to maintain a high level of security awareness and take extra safety precautions while transiting the city throughout the November 9-12 Independence Day festivities.
An increase in petty theft is expected, along with the potential for ad hoc non-police checkpoints and confrontations for money and / or valuables.
The Embassy recommends that USA Citizen avoid areas / neighborhoods east of Centro Commercial Caribe Plaza. Pay extra precaution if you need to drive through these areas as many illegal road blockages can be found on the streets to ask for money. Stay on main routes only, avoid large crowds, and avoid confrontations with festival participants. There have been reports of individuals manning blockades and throwing paint or rocks at vehicles who do not contribute coins as they pass.
The Embassy reminds USA Citizens visiting Colombia of the potential for interaction with criminals using scopolamine or other drugs to temporarily incapacitate unsuspecting victims and then rob or assault them. Victims of scopolamine-related crimes are often targeted in bars, night clubs, or through dating apps. Avoid leaving food or drinks unattended at a bar or restaurant, and refuse offers of something to eat or drink from a stranger.
The Embassy also reminds USA Citizens visiting Colombia that USA Government employees are prohibited from hailing taxis on the street due to the risk of assault or robbery. USA Citizens have been killed during robberies while using taxis. Use a dispatch service or cell phone app whenever possible.
The USA Department of State advises citizens to reconsider travel to Colombia due to crime, terrorism, and COVID-19 and to exercise increased caution in Colombia due to civil unrest and kidnapping.

Watch the entire video for context or you can goto time stamp 15:00 and pick it up from there. A man has to have a purpose. Chasing pussy is an activity. Awareness of what is happening in the world is also important.
So, much for those who question my business investments into Colombia. I also see great potential investment wise. Of course, the guerrillas could run up on me with that AK-47 and they get what they want. Those promoting Colombia as safe are doing a disservice to new people. Irresponsible at best, criminally negligent at worst.

And the perpetrators goto jail. Not that it helps the victim. But is does give the bad guys pause. Please post an article about the last tourist that was SCOPED in Sousa (and wound up robbed or dead).
And for those who are going to question my information, please go read my body of posts during my time in the Dominican Republic Just stay focused on the deal and not the girl. No need to pay weekend millionaire prices just because there are others that do. No FOMO!.
Make judgments for yourself. There is not need to listen to people who have axes to grind for as Trip D (our local Cali expert would say) "reasons". And please do not worry about using a 1 country code in Colombia or the Dominican Republic. A SIM card in the Dominican Republic costs between 100 - 200 DOP. I don't know exactly. I have not bought one for years.

Posts: 1265Is Colombia becoming a shit show Doom edition
So the other day a video on YouTube piked my interest about someone dying in a hotel in Poblado after coming into the hotel with 2 ladies of Venezuelan origin, the investigators had done their job he clearly died of an overdose of scopolamine and then an Aussie got shot for resisting arrest, so the question becomes is it worth it to go to Colombia anymore. ?

Then, they reviewed the profiles of their victims, usually men between 30 and 50 years of age whose photos showed gold chains, expensive watches or trips to different countries, that is, who demonstrated a good purchasing power.

Posts: 31Recommendations for best places to to P4 P for a complete travel newbie?
Any recommendations for best latin American countries to go to p4 p for a complete travel newbie? I'm 22 and soon will be planning a trip abroad (hopefully next summer) to visit a Latin American country to p4 p and be able to lose my virginity. The problem is I don't really have any experience at all with traveling abroad. I've never traveled solo by myself to a foreign country before and have only traveled out of the country once to China when I was 16 but that was a school trip. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can go to that would be great for a travel newbie like me? I think Colombia and Brazil might be out automatically cause I've heard they can be somewhat hard to navigate. I have heard a lot of great things about Medellin though and would love to come there to p4 p after I've had experiences in other places. I know a lot of people recommend Thailand but unfortunately I'm not attracted to Asian women and also really like thick women so wondering what options I have. One place I do want to go to is sosua but I'm not sure how newbie friendly it is.

Posts: 154Here is an article about the fun time at least 9 tourists had
https://www.msn.com/es-co/noticias/n...ptaskbar&ei=13
As you can read in the article, it would be difficult to have as good a vacation anything like this anywhere except Colombia. For reference, this article is specific to medellin but it could be anywhere in Colombia. By the way, did anyone read about the family of luis diaz, the soccer player. You go ahead and google that one on your own.
These days now that Colombia has been become infested with foreigners, if you want colombianas for the legend of the sexy colombianas, almost anywhere in the world is a better place to find them now than in Colombia.
Have a great vacation and welcome to Colombia gringo. Con mucho gusto. A la orden. Claro que si. Un plaisir servirte. Que chimba.
I suspect the medellin board has died along with many of its most ardent contributors.
Where else did everyone go? Dead is where.
And one final piece of advice, if you are in Colombia for chicas and you are talking to a man, any man, you have fucked up and you are figuratively fucked and literally not fucked.
Colombia is not for chillen. The first guy portrayed in the article is a tough young israeli and they got him bad.
Con mucho gusto. A la orden. Fui un plaisir servirte. Que chimba.
Roflmao.
