Travelers planning a trip to Colombia should be aware of the new changes to the U.S. Department of State’s Travel Advisory for the country.

On April 24, the advisory for the country was updated with information about potential civil unrest and kidnapping threats in the country. Colombia is rated at Level 3 by the U.S. Department of State, meaning travelers should reconsider travel to the country.

“Violent crime, like murder, assault, and robbery, is common in many areas in Colombia. In some places, organized crime is rampant. This includes extortion, robbery, and kidnapping,” the travel advisory states. “There is risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity, in Colombia.”

The advisory lists places that are common targets for terrorists and terrorist groups, including U.S. government facilities, tourist areas and attractions, shopping malls, hotels, and more.

Some regions are highlighted as potentially more risky, however. The advisory recommends strongly that American visitors do not travel to Arauca, Cauca (excluding Popayán), and Norte de Santander departments, due to the potential for crime and terrorism, as well as the Colombia-Venezuela border region, due to ongoing conflict between armed groups and the possible risk of detention. Both regions are ranked as Level 4, which means “Do Not Travel.”

“Do not travel to this area for any reason. Crime, kidnapping, and armed conflict are common here,” the travel advisory states. “Do not cross the border into Venezuela from Colombia. You may be detained by Venezuelan authorities. Due to the risks, the U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens here.”

The advisory recommends that travelers avoid demonstrations, keep a low profile, refrain from ostentatious displays of wealth, and stay aware of their surroundings.

Despite the risks, Colombia is an increasingly popular destination in South America, with untouched beaches, vibrant cities, and stunning nature to explore.
