Have recently spent a few months in Colombia and that includes the so called no go zones in rural Colombia. HA! Sure there is police presence. Great! Sure there is military presence. Great! Looks fine to me. Traveled freely throughout the country. No problems. No hassles. People doing everything to overcome the world perception that somehow Colombia is just plain not hospitable. NOT TRUE. Everyone was fabulous. Rural Colombia has home stays, farm stays, adventure packages like rafting, mountain biking, horse pack trips, antiquities like San Agustin, Garzon for a hub service allowing day trips throughout to Hobo, Gigante, la Jagua, and elsewhere. Fabulous. Festivals, Arts, the most amazing group of fruit growing regions, of course coffee, rice, bamboo, and fish farming, yes fish farming something Huila Region has been doing for over 25 years with great success. This last month March 2007 Travel+Leisure Magazine features the "good" of Colombia and also Colombia just won a world award in tourism marketing. The opportunities are only left to the imagination. Great Country. Would return in a heartbeat! Colombia – Very kool. Have recently spent a few months in Colombia and that includes the so called no go zones in rural Colombia. HA!
