The confusion is largely because of the usage of average, which is "mean" in statistical term.
Mean figure does not work for everything. it must be studied with a "range" or "variation."
There are some white and some black people in the US. But it does not mean that Americans in average are grey.
As for V crime rate or murder rate, a list of "districts" with high rate would be more proper than the list of "cities" with the same, since the VC rate is an average figure within a geographical unit.

Don't come. Stay home. Go to Costa Rica. Go back to the DR. Go to Thailand.
Much better there.
(Too many gringos in Colombia anyway) LOL

I heard the bomb blast and there was a small explosion in a park a couple weeks ago (no one was hurt, not sure what happened exactly). There has been some violence related to the paros at the University also. The whole way the campuses are governed is fucked here, really. My girlfriend was a student at U de A, she is trying hard to transfer to la Nacional or, failing that, she got into a private university. The place is just a disaster. Again though these are not things that are likely to affect a visitor.
As a visitor you're getting the surface level, maybe one or two below that if you really hang around. Keep your eyes open but there's no need for paranoia or doubt about coming.

Posts: 1753No doubt Medellin is overall still a pretty dangerous city, but how many of us are going into the hillside barrios at night? Most guys just hang out in Poblado, which is generally quite safe. They may not get a taste of the "real Medellin," but I don't think they care!

The centro is a huge drug den if this goes on longer there could be several more repercussions. Just look what happened when they tried to oust the street vendors.
Yes I see the link now. It wasn't loading earlier.

Hello Gents,
It's unfortunate that any loss of life takes place anywhere in the world. But just as the newspapers and tv news has a place for breaking news and ongoing investigations, I believe this matter and any like it should likewise be put in place.
Upon saying that, I do want to say that the blast that occurred in the Avenue De Greiff followed after a riot that occured in the same area on Thursday March 21st. It seem the Mayor has had the police rounding up the homeless in El Centro in attempt to rid them of the streets.

This picture link below shows the corner street name. I can make out Carrera 11 but the Calle is not clear, looks like a 5, 6 or 8. But that should pretty much narrow down where this occurred in the De Greiff area.

Also, this article below has 2 pictures of the taped off area. Maybe someone can identify the area.
