Oct 3, 2026Colombia— Safety summary changed: from Most tourist areas — Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, the Coffee Axis — are fine with sensible precautions, but robbery and drink-spiking scams do target tourists, and some border and rural regions remain no-go areas. Avoid displaying valuables, use app-based taxis and check regional advice before traveling off the beaten path. to Pickpocketing, mugging and armed robbery are a problem in the major cities, including Bogotá, Medellín, Cali and the Caribbean coast, and criminals use drugs such as scopolamine to rob victims, as well as dating apps to lure lone travellers; express kidnappings happen in unlicensed taxis, so use licensed phone or app taxis. The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to parts of the country, including all of Norte de Santander and Arauca, much of the Pacific coast and Chocó, Guaviare, parts of Caquetá, Meta, Cauca and Putumayo, and areas near the Venezuelan and Ecuadorian borders.
