I'm thinking Bogota but have also heard good things about Medellin on this board. Also considering Cartegena. It's only like $500 to fly to Bogota though.

Dangerous compared to most first world countries where you can walk around at night, flag taxis on the street, and such. It's a great place to go, you just need to watch your back.

Lol damn see it's this oh its safe but "you need to watch your back."

I've been to Manila, Bangkok, almost every major European/Asian/NA city, Tijuana...Of these Manila was probably the worst while every city (except the first world/chinese cities) had the oh it's safe but just be careful warning.

A lot of South American cities are just different in that regard. Even the locals don't walk around at night. You will see if you go that the streets are deserted except for groups of thugs looking to rob people.

One of the cool things about Medellin is that the wealthy area where all the foreigners stay is heavily policed. So, you can safely walk around by yourself at night there.

So does this mean I can't mob around the red light district at night? People say don't walk around at night in almost every major city but in most cases the chances are pretty slim of anything actually happening...For example, walking around downtown LA vs East Oakland (might get mugged vs good 10% chance of being murdered if you're white).

Eh, there are places in Colombia, particularly in Bogota, where if you walk around by yourself at night, there is like a 50%+ chance of you getting mugged. And these areas are sometimes right outside the hostels.

It's safe because you don't fucking wander the streets at night. If you want to go somewhere, you call a taxi, verify the number when it arrives, then call a taxi and do the same on the way back.

You realize Bogota is a cold, grey, dirty city not unlike the uglier parts of London, right? The women aren't hot, either.

Medellin, Pereira, Armenia...heck even Barranquilla, are terrific,though. Clean, beautiful girls, temperate weather, etc.

This is credited. Bogota does have some interesting museums and culture and such.

Edit: Roughly speaking, Bogota is to Medellin as SF is to LA.

To be clear, Id avoid Bogota altogether. It's not particularly unsafe, it just doesn't have the hot women and happy Colombian vibe you're looking for.

YES

I am telling you, Bogota is cold, gray, the women are dour and not very good looking, the nightlife isn't great, as its a congested business city with little happiness. Everyone wears black and tries to avoid the rain.

Go to Medellin or Cali and you will thank me,
