The State Department has urged travelers to keep away from some specific areas entirely.

The U.S. State Department has raised its travel advisory for Colombia to Level 3, urging travelers to reconsider their plans due to increased risks of crime and kidnapping. This advisory was updated on January 2, 2024, reflecting concerns over the high prevalence of violent crimes such as homicide, assault, and armed robbery, as well as the specific threat of kidnapping, which is noted to be a significant risk throughout the country. The advisory highlights that while the government has made efforts to address these issues, the situation remains volatile, particularly in certain regions. It advises travelers to exercise increased caution, avoid areas known for criminal activity, and stay informed about local security conditions.
