hello I am a female travelling alone about to do South America! I have now heard that Columbia is a no go and that I wouldnt be covered under my insurance. I thought it was ok to travel in certain parts. I really would like to do it, but not if it is really bad!!
Hi Claretrick,
I have been to Colombia three times. I am a female, but I always traveled with a male friend. However, I think it is very safe. The last time I went (Feb 2009), there was a HUGE increase in backpackers. If you are careful and take the normal precautions, I think you would be fine.
I also had the problem that I wouldn't be covered by my insurance if I went to certain parts of Colombia. Does your insurance cover any places in Colombia? Mine was fine as long as I stayed in some of the big cities and central areas and northern beach areas. The south was where the problem was. I went anyways. And I did end up getting really sick and had to go to a hospital. ha! But I would do it all again if I had the choice.
Let me know if you need any other advice about Colombia! It's one of my favourite places to travel!
Kristy
