The reason is partially because I look Colombian and I could not be easily identified as a tourist, till I open my mouth and speak a word. <!--more-->Around me I heard different travelers that got robbed in the most amusing ways, like the\u00a0dude got surrounded by 20\u00a0transvestites padding his butt and bye-bye wallet, but really nothing more serious than petty crime. The point is that, how do we say if a place is <em>dangerous<\/em>? If they tell you that a bridge is about to fall down, you&#8217;ll feel in danger crossing it&#8230; but are you, really? If nobody tells you, you may walk on a cracked bridge without noticing it and feeling totally safe even if you&#8217;re actually in great danger. And if you walk on a bridge and you notice a crack&#8230; you&#8217;ll feel suddenly in danger! Colombia <strong>is<\/strong> considered dangerous because of violence by narco-terrorists, but what did I experience as a backpacker? There&#8217;s no a single and simple answer about all the different places and areas I&#8217;ve been, so I rather use few stories from the road&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Story #1: bus trips<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a class=\"thickbox\" title=\"bus from Sinselejo to Medellin\" href=\"https:\/\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-0sulx_g9-iQ\/ThKW65XBlLI\/AAAAAAAABf0\/GHtxyU4EpVo\/IMG_1045.JPG\" rel=\"lightbox[2595]\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"bus from Sinselejo to Medellin\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.ggpht.com\/-0sulx_g9-iQ\/ThKW65XBlLI\/AAAAAAAABf0\/GHtxyU4EpVo\/s300\/IMG_1045.JPG\" alt=\"IMG_1045.JPG\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">bus from Sinselejo to Medellin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>FARC, the terrible Colombian guerrilla, still exist but is generally off the main routes used by the travelers, hidden somewhere in the vast jungle areas. I said <em>generally, <\/em>because this story is proving the opposite. <a title=\"Visiting Mompos or Mompox, charming colonial town\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salsawalkabout.com\/2011\/07\/27\/visiting-mompos-or-mompox-charming-colonial-town\/\">When I was in Mompox, along the Magdalena river<\/a>, I met 2 friendly Israelis continuing their trip to Medellin. I didn&#8217;t manage to convince them to stay one more day in this quiet Colonial town, so they left the day before I did. But I arrived in Medellin only 4 hours after them&#8230; because they got stuck for &gt;12 hours in their bus as the road was <em>completely<\/em> shutdown. On\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-latin-america-13967904\" target=\"_blank\">the main road the FARC stopped 2 buses, evacuate the people and burned the vehicles down<\/a>. Nobody of the passengers was hurt but indeed is not a joke. To see how active the FARC is, you can check this Wikipedia article titled\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_attacks_attributed_to_FARC\" target=\"_blank\">List of attacks attributed to FARC<\/a>. &#8211;\u00a0I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t see this before going there \ud83d\ude42 In other areas, like the one around Popayan, in the department of Cauca, taking a night bus is too dangerous to be recommended. To summarize: <strong>better to check with the locals if the bus route is safe and step out of buses if any soldier is asking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Story #2: that dark road at night<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a class=\"thickbox\" title=\"are you afraid of empty streets?\" href=\"https:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/-gQDjwiwyefs\/Tg9cf2lqW_I\/AAAAAAAABWg\/GEGSLK38LlY\/IMG_0928.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[2595]\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"are you afraid of empty streets?\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/-gQDjwiwyefs\/Tg9cf2lqW_I\/AAAAAAAABWg\/GEGSLK38LlY\/s300\/IMG_0928.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0928.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">are you afraid of empty streets?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It&#8217;s well known to don&#8217;t walk around alone at night in dark, empty roads. But never the less I found myself in the road here in the picture, at 4am, in <a title=\"Visiting Ninos en Contacto project in Barranquilla\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salsawalkabout.com\/2011\/07\/08\/visiting-ninos-en-contacto-project-in-barranquilla\/\" target=\"_blank\">Barranquilla<\/a>, alone and tipsy. It was a stupid idea of course, but I remember at that moment I thought: &#8220;<em>if I see someone<\/em>, I&#8217;m gonna get scared to death. But <em>if someone sees me now<\/em>, it must get scared too!&#8221;. Then I decided that I would have robbed anyone approaching me. <strong>Robbers don&#8217;t rob each others, right??<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Story #3: the trick of the empty bottle<\/h2>\n<p>I wrote already <a title=\"Bring a jacket to Bogota\u2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salsawalkabout.com\/2011\/09\/01\/bring-a-jacket-to-bogota\/\" target=\"_blank\">that the area of Bogota&#8217; where the hostel was, the Candelaria, didn&#8217;t make me feel safe at night<\/a>. The beggars, very insisting in asking money, gave me a feeling I didn&#8217;t encounter in any other place around. So here is the story. I was visiting a Spanish travel-friend in another hostel and I ended up staying there listening guitar till 2am. When I announced that time arrived for me to leave the gang, the (Colombian) girl working in the hostel said the following: &#8220;oh no! you have to cross the square at this time? Take an empty beer bottle with you, just in case!&#8221; I politely refused:\u00a0<em>&#8220;giving away my fake wallet and my camera&#8221;<\/em> VS <em>&#8220;defend them fighting with a broken glass&#8221;<\/em>&#8230; I was sober enough to opt for the former. But I got really scared by the commend and I was freaking out walking alone in the empty little streets. At day, this is a lovely bohemian <em>barrio<\/em>. At night, it&#8217;s a desert with only few security guards at some crossings. I jumped on the first taxi I saw (and I was lucky to see one) and observed from the window the poor beggars in the square&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Story #4: who robbed me in Colombia?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, actually I did got robbed while I was in Colombia. Not by the beggars, not in the shops, not by the terrorists, not by the police. Actually, not by a Colombian. I got robbed by my Dutch bank, that charged me 2.5 EUR for each ATM cash withdrawal!!* \u00a0 *from the bank site: <em>Withdrawing currencies other than the euro:\u00a0\u20ac\u00a02.25 + 1.2% exchange rate surcharge\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t give papaya.<\/h3>\n<p>Papaya is a fruit, yes. &#8220;<em>Dar papaya<\/em>&#8221; (give papaya) is a Colombian expression\u00a0\u00a0that means exactly &#8220;don&#8217;t give the bad guys any opportunity&#8221;. In Colombia you better don&#8217;t give papaya, but it&#8217;s appropriate to find a balance between don&#8217;t take risks and threat anyone like a thief, or your time there will become a nightmare. <strong>People are fundamentally good, I believe<\/strong>, and following this believe I could enjoy the humanity I met.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2595&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;5\\\/5 - (2 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Feeling unsafe in Colombia?&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;142.5&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 142.5px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            5\/5 - (2 votes)    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;m back to the amusement park called Netherlands, when I tell people I&#8217;ve spent almost 3 months in Colombia the first questions I get are about safety.
