Colombia is open to leisure tourists and international arrivals are still strong, but travel remains higher risk than in many destinations. The main traveler issues right now are crime, armed-group violence, localized unrest, and some post-earthquake transport disruption, so normal urban and itinerary caution is not enough in some regions.
