@Education Plz, look what you are saying is half true. I am an American citizen but I also, have the Colombian citizenship, living in both countries and going to school in both countries I would tell you that Colombians as far as quality of Education is more advanced and qualified than American education. Middle class unable to sign??? Maybe your Spanish is not good enough to make others understand you, when you are asking them to sign and they spell their names!!! 😉 You should probably try to take some classes improve your Spanish. You would find Colombian doctors , driving a taxi cab. Because in Colombia, every thing is based on who you know and normal people that have no contacts, end whit a huge school debt, working in anything that is available. So please, get educated about the level of education of a country that is much more advanced than many other countries!!! 🙁

@David, Ive traveled to 57 different countries. There is a lot of crime in Columbia. I have friends that have been robbed at gunpoint. One friend was robbed at gunpoint in Cali, while a cop watched from across the street. I have never been anywhere in all my travels, where i heard so many stories of people being robbed. I’m not against Columbia, it’s a beautiful country and the everyday people there are sweet; they don’t like the crime either. But the reality is that there’s crime, and it’s pretty bad. And any locak would tell you the same thing… Even the locals don’t walk around at night. Take care, good luck.

Give everyone there a leg up for a better life. I lived here 14 years and I’m so let down with education system. A country where most middle class don’t even sign there name they just print when asked to sign. Give people hope on better jobs and a better life. Crime slows down. But my feelings are the rich don’t want to educate the poor here. Educate everyone here. Better paying jobs.

We stayed 7 nights in both. We are Americans living in the Dominican republic for 20 years. This was my wife and I first trip to Colombia. Our kids and grandkids who live in Austin had been before to Bogota. We felt extremely safe the whole time and as a family we are considering an investment there. In Medellín we felt very safe the whole time. In Cartagena you just need to negotiate things always which was the advice from everyone we met in Medellin gave us. We have a vacation rentals business in the Dominican which is amazing to live and visit. We have traveled to every point of country and have always felt safe.. once and a while a client says that the embassy in the Dominican republic just issued a warning to Americans traveling to the DR which my wife spends and hour calming them down. We believe the American government doesn’t want you to travel so you spend those Dollars in the USA

@Pizz, I totally agree with you. I think USA 🇺🇸 always make and create a bad stories about Colombia 🇨🇴 specifically Medellin. Bad people and good people everywhere, every tourist needs to know where to go . I think Brasil 🇧🇷 is the worse because they train the monkeys 🙊 to steal wallets and credit card from hang bags 💼 and also extremely dirty place however there are beautiful places , I have been in both countries and I think USA is making South America look bad seeing that USA 🇺🇸 is really dangerous a lot of homeless and they become upset and angry and dangerous when you don’t give money to them and tips everywhere and they automatically in every place to go. And this is outrageous because to go to USA IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND THE FOOD DISGUSTING AND PEOPLE DANGEROUS.
