Friends of mine recently visited Colombia, and were very surprised. They loved it. As Americans 'of a certain age', Colombia has always been a scary place... drugs, death, corruption... but it has turned around and is blossoming, without being touristy yet.

My mom was horrified when I said we’re considering going to Colombia. She literally said “have you seen narcos!?”

But I’ve heard so many good things about Columbia now. Medellin is practically a case study about how fast a city can transform. Looking at the government advisory website, looks like there still are areas to avoid there. Mostly border areas because of kidnapping.
