To arrive to Colombia's "Islas del Rosario" is really very easy as there are a wide selection of tours that depart from Cartagena, these day trips are complete, you are collected from your hotel in the morning by chiva (typical open sided bus). These ... Read review

Not for the faint-hearted
Review of General: Colombia by MrDarcy

Advantages: Amazing cuisine; coffee; very, very cheap; locals are charming and helpful
Disadvantages: Kidnapping. Like the Sword of Damocles, a pall of fear hangs over everyone. Beggars/prostitutes. Oppressive humidity in Buenaventura.

Columbia has recently been rated the 3rd most dangerous place in the world, and I can believe this, but the situation is not so cut-and-dried. The biggest and only real problem is the kidnapping. According to locals I met in 3 cities, the cartels will ... Read review
