Mention Colombia, and most people think of drug cartels, kidnappings and general lawlessness. The real picture is not nearly as bad.
I'll shortly be heading out to South America and making my second visit to Colombia. It is a beautiful country, the people are (on the whole) amazingly friendly and helpful, and the security situation is not nearly as bad as it was in the early 90's.
Yes, there are risks. People do go missing, kidnappings and killings happen - but then where in the world is anyone totally safe. I don't believe the risk is such that no-one should consider travelling there.
At the same time, don't expect travel there to be totally easy - some places are off-limits, and others are difficult to get to and not really set up for tourism. But it's worth the trouble.
