Posts: 174Any guesses
While waiting for things to open back up, I've been organizing trip photos and videos. I came across a video taken a few years back from deep in the hills of the Sierra Nevada in the tiny village of La Tagua, only accessible by horse or motorbike. While speaking with one of the locals, I saw six to eight guys dressed in fatigues with automatic weapons come out of the woods, cross through town, and go back in on the other side. They stared at me, I waved, a couple waved back, and then they disappeared. I know that traditionally this area has been FARC territory. Out of curiosity, from the attached image (it's low quality because it's a video capture and not a photo), can anyone with local knowledge confirm if these guys were rebels or nationals?

I wouldn't even be surprised if he were taking money from somewhere; those articles are that badly biased.

Posts: 4010I can't abide Colombia Reports for all the reasons you mentioned. I first came across it a few years ago via a link in a facebook post from some angry troll. What bothers me about it is there are quite a few gringos, some of whom are long term residents, who rely on it for news and information. I think it caters to people who can't read the local press for lack of Spanish knowledge. The tone of it is relentlessly negative and slanted. It's almost like a spurned lover who can't move on.

The whole area is still closed, aside from a few restaurants. Had some good sushi though.
Assuming it opens up again and business starts getting back to normal, yeah, it's not necessarily more expensive, but there are a whole lot of clip joints there you have to know to avoid.
The think I didn't like about SF anymore is that it was like 99.9% Venezuelan girls, and I prefer Colombian.

Posts: 1068Santa Fe has more girls
I was there last night about 6:30 there were 30-50 girls and definitely some super cute 18-20 somethings. As I mentioned previously everything closes at 8-9 pm. I bet there are a lot of girls there during the day, will have to go sometime soon.
Biggest pain in the ass is there is no where to sit. So I sat down on a stoop to smoke a joint and have a coffee surrounded by 15 young guys who were loitering. Soon we were all moved along by cops.
I hooked up with a super hot 23 yo girl, brunette with super white skin, Beautiful see-cup+ tits she looked like the Sukia the vampire.

Posts: 5636No International Flights into Colombia until 31 August
From my standpoint it is apparent from the length of time that international flights are banned from Colombia that tourism contributes a small part of the Colombian economy. Countries that rely heavily on tourism will reopen their airways soonest.

Woodman, I know Santa Fe is your area. Me and another monger ventured out to Primer de Mayo one night. Have you been and if so, can you do a compare and contrast?
From what I saw, there were way fewer customers, but the women were equally hot but not cheaper, and the guys trying to get you into the bars were waaay more pushy. I didn't feel as comfortable, but I was thinking I might give it a try another time. We went on a Friday night I think, and it was like 1/5 as many guys as the Santa Fe clubs.

The article couldn't possibly be filled with more yellow journalism, misrepresentation, and outright lies.
I wouldn't even know where to start, it's just that bad.
