Fake list. Santiago above Caracas? And we aren't in 90s anymore, Medelin is not so dangerous even in Colombia there are worse cities to live .
I knew this list was bogus when Caracas and Valencia were only 8th and 9th
Sexual harassment and offenses are a thing there you guys don’t want to face truth. It’s not to be kind it’s to be informative
@@sparcx86channel42 ????
I have never been to Medellin but was surprised when it made the list I had heard good things about it
the short time I spent in Colombia the people were friendly and nicer then some of the cities in the USA
My wife is from Medellin, Colombia and I've been there a few times, I found the people to be extremely friendly, happy, and welcoming. the temperature in Medellin stays between 70 and 80 degrees all year around, the weather is amazing. I was there during Christmas a couple of years ago and there was a party going on all over the city, I don't think the creator of this video has been there, bringing Pablo Escobar into the equation is like bringing Charles Manson when talking about California, ridiculous, no doubt there's crime in Medellin but there is crime everywhere, specially in Latin America, you just have to use common sense.
I’m from Caracas. My city was a wonderful paradise to live some decades ago, now it’s a nightmare, that’s why I left. But let me correct something, Caracas climate IS PERFECT. You can mention anything bad about my city and I accept it, except for the climate. In fact, Caracas is called “the eternal spring city”. Temperatures are between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit all year round.
Primavera eternal is like 5 cities in Latin America por lo menos. You got Medellin, Montevideo, Guatemala City, Guadalajara, Cuenca, etc
@@CommentLikeDescribe Yah, so many cities in South America are like the eternal spring cities as we don't have seasons and the temperatures are pretty warm the whole year
was there with a friend in '98.... relatively calm but could still be dangerous..... you have to know exactly where you are going though, cuz you run the risk of being in a dead end(no pun) and having to retrace your steps.... was alone and two guys went after what they thought was a money belt.... I yelled and started swinging.... they left me, I think
they were older and drunk..... but I had a hard time walking back a parallel way to where we were staying....
I was in Caracas in the late 80's it wasn't bad.
Hopefully it gets better. I have always wanted to visit Caracas and the rest of Venezuela. Always thought it was one of the most beautiful countries in the Americas.
Medellin and Santiago? Those are two of the most livable cities on the continent. Medellin absolutely rocks. I did my first bike race there and loved it. Also, most of the people in Medellin HATE anything about Pablo Escobar. Those tours are done by private companies, some are American. Ask a citizen there to go on that your with you and they may slap you.
I see why Medellin hates Pablo Escobar Because he from Colombia so it would make them look bad
I lived in Medellin for 7 months it’s not as bad as people say but it’s not as good either. Most foreigners only interact with the wealthy and educated in the city which is frankly similar to many other cities but you might get special attention because you are a foreigner and some people like that, but if you get into poorer areas and social circles you will find anti American sentiment and a desperation that most Americans are not used to.
The author of this video is purely giving bullshit
Medellin?? Jajajajaja Jajajajaja karaka jajajajaja its a shithole
I love Meadllin! Friendly, good water, great city! Visit Meadllin! Safely enjoy one of the most beautiful places in south America! I don't know where this guy gets his information... but it's not from first hand experience!
I've been to Colombia and Peru as a solo female traveler and did not have any issues. I'd like to point out that if one researches coming to the US as a tourist they are warned about the rampant gun violence that we have. So keep that in mind.
Thank a lot for your comment, and your welcome to my beautiful country 🇨🇴 I hope you come back to my country and enjoy it.
No, you do not get that advice when you visit the us, don't try to pretend that the us is even remotly as dangerous the south amrica
You are correct. I've visited Peru many times and never felt threatened. My family is from there. Yet here in the US the people in general are more aggressive, meaner, and the high crime areas are way worse than in Peru. In Peru they might do a strong armed robbery or a smash and grab but here in the US they stick a gun in your face and even if you them your money they'll kill you. No joke.
Visit Meadllin! Safely enjoy one of the most beautiful places in Columbia! I have no idea where this guy gets his information, but it is not firsthand! I love Meadllin!
I have been to Peru as a solo woman traveler also, the people were great. I had a great time.
PS The food is great there also.
Have you ever been to Medellín, Colombia? I'll go out in a limb and say no. The people of Medellín are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. This is also the cleanest city I have ever been to in Colombia. We travel to Colombia at least 3 times a year and always go to Medellín during each visit, along with other cities, but this is always a must and this where we plan to retire to in the next few years. The City of Eternal Spring has come along way from the Escobar days, the people are NOT proud of the fact that Escobar was there and make a concerted effort to avoid foreigners obsessive fascination with all things Pablo Escobar. I felt just as safe walking around and taking public transportation down there as I would here in the US. I will also add that I am not Colombian but an avid traveler and lover of Colombia, especially Medellín. Do yourself a favor and go for a visit, you will love it. And maybe before passing judgment on countries do some better research.
I seriously can't believe the gall of this video to suggest Medellin belongs on this kind of list. I can't stand when people do no current research on places they critique.
👍🏻🤠
Thanks for sharing! What other cities in Colombia would you recommend visiting?
@@ReignMaker26 The "coffee triangle" is a treasure trove of sights, from coffee plantations to colonial artisan towns to thermal hot springs. The areas surrounding the 3 major cities (Pereira, Manizales, and Armenia) are almost limitless in activities. It's a hidden gem filled with breathtaking landscapes and the friendliest of people.
OMG thank you so much for your comment about Medellín. I'm not Colombian but I visit there often (pre covid). Nothing he mentioned sounded like the Medellin I've grown to love. What an insulting video! He could have mentioned the social inequality, the limited means of social mobility, the political corruption or the need for additional infrastructure, and I would have agreed, but instead he suckered punch a city that has worked hard to move ahead and is still doing so. As soon as their quarantine ends I'm booking a flight to Medellín. Hugs! 🤗
Sir, I am absolutely disgusted and offended by what you said about my beloved country Suriname. This place isn't "rough"and our water is PERFECTLY fine for consumption. We voted out our corrupt government, Identity theft isn't as common. Many MANY tourists that come here can't seem to get enough of us and always return. Why we don't have sandy beaches, we have an AMAZING rainforest and waterfalls galore. AND yes it rains throughout the year but significantly less from June - Mid November. Our country is full of different cultures and delicious food. One of the only places in the world where a synagogue and a mosque coexist peacefully next to each other. You have some nerve talking about people getting robbed at night when people in your country get murdered for the color of their skin. Crime is something that happens in every country.
Tell him!!!
Respect!
"people in your country get murdered for the color of their skin" - take this shit out and your comment would be decent, as you've gone talked crap just like he did about your country. lol
@@kel8026 fytb
@@kel8026 is not like he is lying 🤥 lol
8 years living in medellin, never been robbed , assaulted, or feelt unsafe, you just need to have a little of common sense and you be ok. my father went to school here in the escobar years, he said it waa hell on earth back then but now its the best city to live in here in Colombia.
Right, Is the better city for living in colombia, the forbes periódic mencioned Medellín how the 3° best city for living in the world!, 2021
Adding that Medellin is a very clean.
Medellin? There goes your credibility. The place is amazing and know it super well.
I have been living in Medellin for 15 years and this video is horse crap especially the comments about cleanliness and trash. There is a reason that Travel and Leisure recently noted Medellin as the top city in the world for digital nomads. And as far as the Pablo Escobar tours go, the locals hate it and it is the foreigners who have the fascination with Pablo.
everything wrong on this video
I am American and live in Medellín and been here for 3 years...while traveling throughout alot of So. America. Yeah I live in Laureles and have stayed in Itagui, centro and El Poblado...not sure why Medellín is on this list.
Sounds like this person never visited these cities. I can't speak for other cities but Santiago is not as bad as he made it to be. There are some great neighborhoods. Of course there are shady ones as well, but you can find that in any major city. Take LA and NYC for example, if can cherry pick the worst neighborhoods in those cities and it'll look like hell on earth.
Excellent point!
Chilean here, been to NYC and LA, Santiago has nothing to feel ashamed for, this is just bs.
@@sopaipillascnmostaza he actually does many of his videos of the worst places in America and as of 2021 the list continues to grow and the violence continues to escalate, we as Americans are fully aware of this. The only ones who seem oblivious to this trend are the liberal mayors and the progressive elite who manage to live in ivory towers. Love and blessings to all from America
@@Hugatree1 Maybe choose another source of information, because clearly this chanel lacks research on the subject.
any favela make the worst neighborhoods from LA and NYC look like paradise
I'm a fan of your channel......but this video seemed poorly researched, and just thrown out there for the YT $$.
First and last video of this guys I watched. Took only the first city to know this guy likely never stepped foot in South America.
@@Allen4AU Think he just relies on "statistics". Which don't really tell the whole story.
@alex'
I certainly expected more from Venezuela.
Agree, do better more thorough research next. Or better still go live in Caracas for a month.
I agree. I have liked watching these videos, as they “seem” informative, but this video, as well as several others, seem to have been hastily thrown together, and not very honest, as far as how life actually is in some of the mentioned cities. I’m beginning to think the guy who is putting these videos out there is just in it for making money. Probably sitting on a beach somewhere, counting the cash he makes from Googling places and throwing together a video every now and then.
Im an American and travel to Medellin often. I can honestly say your version of how the city is is extremely out of character for Medellin. The city is beautiful. The people are some of the nicest people Ive ever met. To be honest, Medellin is my future home. No problems here at all.
I here the pollution is getting bad there. Soot accumulating on stationary surfaces. Due to low quality fuel from what I hear. Can you confirm this for me? Considering retirement there. Thanks in advance!
@@jamesballard6564 It’s in a valley. The smog does settle but it also rains almost daily and clean spring air filters in. I would say any big city in the US would fare worse than Medellin
Please say what country in America are you from.
Doing a review of countries without ever having set a foot in them is like doing a review of a restaurants food without actually eating there. It's ALL hearsay.
Correct, and I doubt Briggs has ever been anywhere. I'm glad to see so many people who can see through his B.S.
Welcome to social media platforms, where non experts discuss expert discourse.. get used to it bro
@@clintfalk it's called research
Who says he hasn’t?
@@Sle3p520 Its apparent from the video.
Sounds to me like this guy has never actually visited any of these cities.
I’ve visited a few and I agree with most of what he said
I've been to 3 of these and I think he was accurate.
I'm sure he hasn't
Like bringing up paplo escobar is like bringing up the nazi thing when taking about berlin
Briggs is full of shit, I'd be surprised if he actually owns a passport.
I'm Hispanic and he's 100% accurate, he described Venezuela better than I could.
7:28 that’s definitely not Santiago: it’s the famous Turning Torso skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden. Sloppy research, man...
that's hilarious i thought i saw that building somewhere that's def not santiago
That building in Malmö was designed (not coincidentally) by Spanish architect SANTIAGO Calatrava. The dude just Googled “Santiago” and pasted in the first picture that came up without checking it.
Glad I am not the only one who saw that inaccuracy!
I was wondering where the mountains were.
@@embauer74 lmao true he probably searched for "buildings santiago"
I am American and currently live in Natal Brazil. Been here two years. This is not true. None of this is true. I love this city! Beautiful beaches and great people. Wow I’m shocked. Before moving to Natal I lived in Santiago Chile. I’m not so sure about this food storage information. Santiago is fabulous!
My wife is Colombian. I’ve spent a lot of time in Bogotá and found it friendly, scenic, historic and in general great. In many ways better than the US. And Medellin may be the best place to visit or live in Colombia. If you’re looking for bad or unsafe places, what about Rio de Janeiro or San Paulo Brazil??? As much as I love your videos, you totally missed it on this one.
Yeah I was in medellin in February. Other than the traffic this guy was way off
They don't glamorize Escobar there. They sell items with his face and name and give tours to specific places because that's a big thing the "gringos" ask for
The audacity you have to talk about Suriname like that.
the poster is just full of shit
This is utter bs.. The narrator should look for another job, his research about Suriname is poor.. Identity theft in Suriname?? Since when?? Bad water quality in Paramaribo? High numbers of HIV and Aids? Lies, lies and more lies.. The funniest was he read not to walk around the palm garden at night
the disrespect he
I have never been there but Just for the images he used I feel like booking a flight. The city is very cute. Nice buildings and cute streets.
@@AmandaIbraimovic you should come for sure, all tourists really enjoy here
Man this guy needs to do a 100 places the world shouldn’t visit in the US
Let me start the list and I'll preface to say that I've visited everyone of these cities and have first hand seen the large homeless populations and the crime; New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Santa Fe, Washington DC, Cleveland, Chicago etc.......
@@LesbianNaziHookers ,
I lived in Phoenix for 15 years and disagree with it being in your list. Most of Phoenix is nice and I did not encounter many homeless or much crime. I lived in one part, worked in another and had family living in another. All of those places were perfectly clean and safe areas to be. Every city over a million people will have some area that is of a dubious nature. I think you could put Tuscon in there in place of Phoenix.
@@adudeuno i mean I hear you but people can be ignorant without being racist.
Check out Nick Johnson's channel.
that guy is making $$$ from all these "places you shouldn't visit in the US" videos
Don't visit Ohio.
We all pretty nice, the air and water is generally really fresh, the government isn't terribly corrupt or overbearing, there's poor people but not many are desperate enough to turn to crime. People don't mind doing daily business covered in dirt from work but they usually don't smell bad, and the worst of all is life is boring everyday.
No one wants to live here. It's basically prison.
My wife is from Medellin, Colombia and I've been there a few times, I found the people to be extremely friendly, happy, and welcoming. the temperature in Medellin stays between 70 and 80 degrees all year around, the weather is amazing. I was there during Christmas a couple of years ago and there was a party going on all over the city, The Metro in Medellin is spotless, cleaner than ANY metro I've visited in the US. I don't think the creator of this video has been there, bringing Pablo Escobar into the equation is like bringing Charles Manson when talking about California, ridiculous, no doubt there's crime in Medellin but there is crime everywhere, specially in Latin America, you just have to use common sense.
Very true
I come to Bogota, Colombia once a month. And all the locals I talked to all love Medellin. I also been there once, and it is a lovely city.
I think it would be best to just avoid Venzela altogether.
*Venezuela
@@email5023 Look, even the letter "u" is avoiding it.
@@julianhermanubis6800 lol
The people are really cool, unfortunately the government is horrible. That's why many of them moved out of the country. Every Venezuelan I've known are really good people, so sad the country is so messed up.
Yeah I heard.
When you talked about Santiago in the beginning, you showed Sweden's most dangerous city called Malmö !
I doubt the Swedes are the ones making it dangerous lol.
Some guy probably accidentally tripped and hit someone now it’s the most dangerous city in Sweden
Yea lol Sweden is one of the most safest countries not only in europe but in the world
He specifically said that in the background he would be showing photos of places he’s visited
@@mastermichael5779 even countries like Sweden have bad parts, not saying Sweden is not great
Welcome to the U.S. where our motto is; come back when you are a little more richer. Despite all the economic crisis, this is still go of time to start up an investment.
The rich see's economic crisis as garage sale, that's why investing right now will be the best decision.
Recently I've been really interested in investing into cryptocurrency, but it's strange how people talk about all the profits they have been making through trading of bitcoin. While am here not making any profit at all, please can someone put me through on the right path or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?.
Choosing to invest in bitcoin s the best decision anyone can make with the right approach, it works.
@@ericrobert4651 That's true, most people today has been having a lot of failure in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation and lack of experience.
Investing in crypto was fun till looses came in, couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, till I lost all my money.
La Paz is actually one of the safest cities, surrounded by beautiful mountains and with vallleys producing fruits and fresh produce. The south zone of the cities has tons of nice neighborhoods while downtown hosts a Spanish colonial city. I have no idea how the jail is relevant to anyone who is not locked up. Clearly, you have never been.
Ive been there, and la paz sucks
La Paz is one of the worst cities I've ever been to. Nothing there is pleasant. Restaurants are few and far between are practically soup kitchens. Shopping sucks.
Bolivia in general is about as bombed out as it gets, generally. It's unfortunate because the landscapes are spectacular.
@@thedalillama where have you being?

I suggest you do better research before creating list like this. CZcams is full of infomative videos about Suriname. This video is less than garbage
You have the wrong image of Suriname.

I lived in Medellin Colombia for a couple of months and is one of the most beautiful places in the world, "El Patron" died over 20 years ago and the US has way more drug addicts than Colombia, you dont know what you are talking about, this video is very offensive and ignorant.
Very true
Absolutely, I've been more afraid in any major city in US than there
❄️❄️❄️
Medellin is a great city. Not correct about Medellin.
El patron
After living in South America for the last 35+ years I have to say you, my friend are full of it!
Really? You lived in all these places? South America is an entire continent.
Lmao dude I thought I was the only one thinking this. I lived in 4 of these countries
Full of it plus. I have been living in states for the last 40 years. Love Medellin. Though still can't get enough from the USA. Top of the line.
I don’t agree
I live in Medellín from America and I find it very safe, mostly clean and beautiful
Air Quality good
I don’t go out after ten o’clock because I don’t go out after ten o’clock in America
I’ve been to Medellín and after 10 is a great time to go out if you’re into bars/clubs/nightlife/dancing.
The air quality is terrible
I was there 3 weeks ago for a 2 week vaca... what a nice place... on the cheap... and I went everywhere.. including a drive to Guatape...:)
Don’t correct him. You don’t want American travelers ruining it for all.
I do in America lol
Dude let me ask, have you actually been to Medellin, or Santiago? I doubt you have even been out of the US. Have fun on your next vacation to Pittsburg!
I have been to Medellin. Lived in Colombia for 2 years. Nobody vacations in Pittsburg but you I am guessing.
Maybe if you would have pronounced the name right that would have helped people think you may have actually been there.
That makes sense.
@@WorldAccordingToBriggssorry . You’ve never been to Medellin.
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs you’re a fucking liar! You can’t even properly pronounce Medellin!
I'm from the US and I've lived in Medellin for more than 16 years. Most of what you say about it is complete nonsense. Crappy research. You should do a video on the worst city guide videos ever and put yours on the top.

@@edantes2008 Hahahaha, good one. And he spent 0 days without being a national embarrassment to the USA.
Clearly you've never been to Medellin because it's probably one of the nicest places in South America. Also, it's strange that you didn't mention Sao Paolo or Rio de Janeiro because they are some of the most dangerous places I've been to.
Is Medeline the best? How about the recent protest there and how does it compare to Bogota?
Medellin is not nice. Its ok.
Latin America is not very nice.
Medellin is not as nice as many people believe… but is also not as bad as this video describes it. Are Caracas, Valencia, and La Paz better ranked than Medellin?? C’mon, man!
Man, you got that right.
I disagree with Medellín on this list, for me it's one of the nicest places in south America.
I wouldn't put Santiago on this list. It's actually a lovely city, feels a lot like Spain, has good mass transit, and is relatively safe. In multiple trips there I never experienced bad air quality. AFAIK, the food shortages were spotty and no worse than the toilet paper and canned food shortages in the US last year. Probably the best managed country in Latin America.
1000% the best managed country in South America. Perhaps Santiago is on the list for the cost of living?
I was also going to say this. I've never been to South America but I've done lots of research and Santiago would definitely be my first destination
Feels a lot like Spain, wtf?
Yes, that explains the Social Explosion last year.

Good Info 😊
I live in Natal and I can tell you this is very exaggerated. Most things you talked about is in the poorer areas. The touristic and middle class areas are as safe as most parts of Brazil. And it is a great place for tourism.
I've lived here most of my life and never ever was I victim of a crime.
And I would suggest you to be a little more careful when saying that other peoples cities and countries "suck" or are "terrible places". Be polite, Sir.

Non-Americans like Mistuh Dragon Fly should stop telling Americans what to do, if they still have the urge to do so then they should at least be nice.
Ive lived in suriname for well over 19 years and never in my life have i ever come into any issues with the water. If anything it tastes better than the tap water ive tasted in europe and is worlds away from the pool water that comes from the taps in america.
As for the crime, i doubt that walking alone at night in the middle of the city is safe in any country. Take it from someone who's never been physically assaulted here for literal years, but did get slapped by a bum in barcelona during the day in the 2 weeks i was there(take from that what you will).
The only thing you got right was the economy and the corruption. But for the most part, if you can secure a stable income, suriname is totally okay to live in
America has the worst water on the planet with fluoride in it. I always get sick when I am on vacation there. I was in Belem Brazil and their water is worst then suriname. The video maker is full of shit. Plus the 15 murders he is talking about happened in the 80's
Lol. I never drink from the taps, especially if I am in brasil or anywhere in europe. 😂
@@rootsandriddims ,
He is talking about the safety of drinking the water, not the taste of it. Everyone is going to get used to the taste of the water that they drink and consider that normal.

So I'm hearing a privileged American who's probably never been to these places yet judges them for issues that many large American cities have as well. Perfect examples: parts of New York City, Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Atlanta, Miami, Albuquerque, El Paso, Washington DC, etc.
@CC. LL Well I've been to half of them and know people who live in all of the other ones except one. I'd bet you've probably been to one, tops. People who don't go that far from their home town tend to be full of shit and think they know how the world works.
Foreal I went to juarez mexico and that's a fucked up place but still hade a better time their than I ever did in America so 🤷
I don’t visit our cities either. 🤷♀️ I live in Appalachia. It’s a different kinda poor here. Over population makes those places worse. Thank God I live rural.

Helpful, thank you
If this was my first time watching your videos, I would never watch another one. I have found your past videos very entertaining and accurate enough to be believable. I would believe it was possible you had been there and experienced the culture of said city. I have lived in several of the cities and they are absolutely nothing like you described. Others than the possible crime that you will experience in every major city on the planet. If you find yourself walking through a distressed neighborhood wearing a big gold chain and a Rolex you will likely finish your day in the same circumstances and you would in any city on the planet. I know you have the ability to entertain and educate without the overt offensiveness. Let keep it old school, you know funny and snarky not offensive.
Totally Agree. I think he's gone Rogue on us. Used to be a dependable source of knowledge.

In making this video Briggs , have actually been to these cities recently ? As a lot of comments disagree with your assessment , or did you just google all this info and put Video together ?
@@carlosedwardos agreed
The sad part is that the creator of this video didn't even bother to do a Google search on this cities, let alone visit these places, he's typing his opinions out of his momma's basement.
I would love to go to Medellin Colombia. It's a beautiful city.
I was just there and it is a very beautiful city. Lots of high rises but also a lot of greenery. Lots of trees. The poorer parts in the mountains aren't as picturistic though.
@@ariefraiser140 That is why i want to go.
@@ariefraiser140 Is it safe to go by myself?
@@johntziannis359 I think so. If it's your very first time stay in the El Poblado neighborhood. It's the richest and safest part of the city and from there you can travel around. Laureles neighborhood is also fairly safe. Downtown can get sketchy at night. Also the poorer Barrios are in the mountains. I personally wouldn't go there alone.
@@ariefraiser140 Thanks. I have never been overseas by myself before.. And my family worry, they insist i go in a group. My Spanish isn't very good. I have also heard horror stories of taxi drivers kidnapping tourists.
I haven't travelled much bin South America. I've been to Rio, Buenos Aires, and Santiago Chile. I never felt safe in Rio, it's dangerous. Buenos Aires was beautiful, great food, but the economy was bad when I was there. Santiago was the best of the 3, great food, great climate and more friendly than the other two. Santiago reminded me of LA but cleaner.
I'm Brazilian I live in small city in são Paulo State, I agree with you Rio it's not safe
oh yeah i'm argentine and our economy is the worst after venezuela... not much to do there. But is a great country with a lot to see, eat etc nice people when you go out of the capital, porteño is not sweet people
@@natiiim6336 , I'm celt and been to Argentina 5 times and I notice the difference from Porteño and Provincia , I liked provincia more especially as my fave club from boy is near Quilmes 😊
Now a days, you feel insecure any city, even 🇺🇸's cities. Humans rights ruin the world.
and there are better cities then Santiago in Chile
MEDELLIN was safe when I went last February real nice place and most locals I talked to said they are not happy about the stigma and reputation Escobar gave their country.
It does have some really nice areas. They still have some straight-up scary parts. It is way better than it was 25 years ago. Back then the whole city was a nightmare.
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs I'd like to send you my vaca pics from last month.... I was literally there 3 weeks ago and had best time.. even drove to beautiful lakes district called Guatape.... Poblado is the tourist area, but the city in general is very nice and we even traveled public transpo up to Arvi Park.... shit I'm looking at buying property... no joke...
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs 25 years ago, it's a long time buddy, Medellin is now lauded as an up-and-coming travel destination. In fact, Medellin's 82% decline in violent crime means that the city is now safer than New Orleans!
Before making this videos try doing at least a Google search, or better yet, buy a plane ticket and visit these places, you're a poor simpleton typing you're opinions from your momma's basement.
What a dumb video.
I was just in Medellin last week. I felt very safe there as a female solo traveler 🙌🏾
You clearly haven't visited any of these countries lol... You need to visit them and redo this video.
Mom is Colombian and while some areas are best avoided, it’s not a war zone either. Cartagena and Medellin are incredible cities and I’d rather live in them than in some US cities, and I currently live in Miami. Saludos ✌🏼
You should start with home…the top 10 worst US cities with more death rate… Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Dallas, you name it
No Saint Louis? And also Dallas is awesome.
Your view of Medellin is wrong. You've clearly never been there. Also you spelled Colombia wrong in your description..
I live in Paramaribo and it's not that bad
the tab water here is fine.
if you are a tourist here. come give me a fist bump.
hardest fist in the country.
Dafuq? Literally Chile has the best food security after the US and Canada in the region, it is more expensive that in our neighboring countries, but it is affordable, secure and abundant, we have the same ranking as Spain! Air pollution is quite similar to LA, that's why up in the hills air quality is better, but keep in mind LA is next to the ocean, Santiago is literally a closed valley! And carbon neutrality is way on tracks here. Pure BS.
I was surprised to see Medellin, Colombia in this list. Why i say this? Well, it seems that Medellin's citizens are very proud of their city. You can find in here lots of videos describing the merits of Medellin, and can see its people telling the world how blessed they feel for living in such a wonderful city!
Been to Medellin many times. It's a great place. They have even cleaned up the former "slums" and modernized them into sustainable communities with utilities and services. There is a construction boom. Cranes everywhere. Highways being built, including a huge highway to the airport. This video was pure ignorance.
The idiot uploader probably never left his own city. Medellin is the Best city of south america
I agree 100 % been all over the world first time oct 2018 then I followed with 3 more trips spent about 3 months in all I fell in love with the city and it’s people was the best experience of my life and am 59 from Connecticut and thinking seriously to join my retired happy friends from USA who actually don’t mind the false negativity otherwise all of US A would retire here therefore more expensive so clearly he is wrong about this one for sure makes me think others maybe the same
@@robd1329 Check out his other videos. This fraud takes CRUISES to Alaska and the Caribbean. He is too scared to visit anyplace else. So, he makes up videos to make the outside world seem scary because he is too scared to see it for himself.
@@clintfalk He probably just saw the first two seasons of Narcos and foolishly believes it's always like that
Paramaribo is not a problem. This video is circumspect and I wonder if they actually traveled to these cities. I have been to paramaribo several times and found it safe and charming.
You right my brother
@@robbyjhinkoe8712 !
Clearly the narrator has been to none of these places.
I agree with you... I can say these cities are as dangerous as any cities in a developed country... the only thing is that peolple have aware in some especific places.
What are you talking about? Food shortage in Chile? Are you kidding Me! Where do you get your info? Better check it out. Actually is one of the nicest country in South America! Air ohh yes bad bad air in Santiago just because they are between mountain! But food shortage no!
Thank you for posting this video
We moved to Cuenca, Ecuador in February 2015. We feel safer here than we ever did in the USA.
You are wrong about Medellin. Most neighborhoods are pretty clean. Yes you have to watch being a gringo in some places, especially at night. It's got a spotless Metro, wonderful people, good prices, and the air some months is not bad at all.
I think he's talking mostly to gringos. So yes we should stay away.
@J Bar still less racism than in the us
If it is not Portland Oregon than it ain’t jack shit to him!
@J Bar u can't be racist against white people
@@Travelvision2020 Jealous?
Can I just say I’m from Barranquilla, in Colombia. I’ve been to Medellin multiple times and it’s not that bad. The people are very friendly and they don’t all want to steal from you trust me. The streets there are getting extremely cleaner especially recently. Also if you ask most Colombians about Pablo Escobar and they probably won’t talk to you again, well at least all of the Colombians that I know.
Para ser honesto, este tipo es el típico extranjero que nos sigue juzgando por lo que sucedía entre los 80s y 90s sin tomarse el trabajo de investigar. Pero me gusta que la mayoría de críticas vengan por parte de otros gringos, que sí se animaron por venir y conocer y darse cuenta que las cosas cambiaron para mejor.
Of course they will talk to you about Escobar but it is like ancient history like the Romans or something.
@@anthonymendoza1327 it’s not really
@@sofialuciagiraldo2205 I like females from poor country's you can make them do a lot.
I respect your opinion but I've been to both Santiago and Medellin and your horribly mistaken to include them on this list. It's not fair to make such analysis about somewhere, especially if you never set foot in them.
I don't respect his opinion. He needs to get there and experience by himself. I Medellin there is people from all over the world. No complaints. Nothing is perfect though
Thanks for this list!
You've clearly not been to Medellín, Colombia lately. And I would happily live in Poblado.
Try laureless/estadio.
Let's go... it was even fun last month wearing masks.. live music in the street cafe's at night :)
Or Bogota
Too touristy. I prefer estadio/laureless area.
@@Acteaon Bogota is touristy? I have a friend who lives there she said she has to keep her money and phone hidden on her person at all times cuz people steal all the time. And apparently it’s like a normal thing to see people getting raped and assaulted in the streets. So sad. I guess in her section during the lockdowns they were only allowed to shop once a week they had certain sections of people that could only go at certain times. But I guess there are a lot of tourists there too. They really need to be careful. Get one of those backpacks that’s impossible for thieves to open. And protection.
Ennum I think you are just making stuff up. I live in PARAMARIBO and yes of course every country has some minor issues politically and socially. But to make such an analysis.🧐 Even in the United States you have a lot of crime and a lot of issues that are kept under the rug, but that will not keep tourist from visiting your country right? So what is your goal with this video. Many people visit our country because of the 98% of rainforest, which will benefit your health even more than a beach. 🤗🤨

Blow and hookers? 😸
Exaggeration! I cannot speak for most places but, Medellin is gorgeous. I've been there, it is beautiful, safe and the people are amazing!
You are full of bull 💩
People so so, there’s a lot of falseness and hypocrisy…but yes it’s beautiful
And the water in Suriname is drinkable
Guayaquil low 30's F at night?!?
More like low 70s F.
And, Guayaquil is nowhere near Colombia.
@@rogermichaelwillis6425 That isn't what he said. He said the park was. People often fly into Guayaquil and travel to the park.
I was there last December and it was really really hot.
I think he’s mixing his F’s and C’s
He probably said 30 degrees celsius, Althoiugh Americans don't use that system.
What he said about Ecuador Guayaquil made me think. I have known a girl there now for almost 2 years, she is in the middle class. I met her on the internet, but then covid- 19 arrived so never got to meet her, at least so far. She has never described the city in this way, she has said it is crime, but you are safe as long as you stay away from certain parts of the city. They also have medical care.
I lived in Guayaquil in the late 1990s. It is not too bad. Like any large city in the world, certain neighborhoods are worse than others, and much of the city is relatively okay. I never felt in any real danger but you do need to be cautious as you would in NYC or LA or anywhere else in the world. Most people are very polite and the hospitality is top notch. I loved my two years in Ecuador.
Thank you for making this video.
WOW! JUST WOW!!!! Where the heck did you find your information.... Or maybe a Surinamese girl broke his heart, thats why he only stated lies. Let me teach you something from Suriname YU MA BIGI PANGPANG! Now try to pronounce that....
Briggs, you sir have described the entire Los Angeles area and CA as a whole! I rather go anywhere on this list than stay in LA!!!
Spoken like someone who has never been to Los Angeles. 45 years here...I've seen far worse.
Coming from someone who lived a third world country in South America and now lives in LA. It’s a paradise compared to that. Go live in a third world South American country and then tell me it’s like LA 🤣
@@smurfy1011 LA is a 3rd world country!!! The entire state of CA is a 3rd world country, Why do you think most illegal immigrants land in LA??? Because they feel at home!
Hahahahah so true.. although i live in the valley
To all the comments ahead of mine, yes over the past 20 years while I lived in California I watched it turn into something that reminds me very much of a third world country. By the way I lived in a third world country for several years so I know both places very well. Although skid row has been around for quite some time and actually is pretty bad, in the past few years San Francisco has skyrocketed to the top of the dangerous, garbage, drug infested list. I lived there as well and would describe it worse than any of these descriptions that Briggs used about South American countries
I am from St. Louis and there are neighborhoods in the city here you would also not want to live due to violent crime. Violent crime has really become an issue in the U.S. in numerous other cities such as Chicago. People visting the U.S. need to also be carefull knowing where to stay away. I have never been to South America and also enjoyed reading the comments of your video from those that live in South America.
St. Louis? Try, San Juan, PR. It's much worse and much poorer than St. Louis, Chicago, NYC, and LA combined.
Warning: Don't go to Bayamon. The ghetto of all ghettos. It makes the South Bronx, Southside of Chicago, and even East LA look like choirboys.
@@AJ42K Intersting. The St. Louis city and St. Louis county government is not combined here and most of the tough neighborhoods are in the city that has a population now of only around 300,000. This is what makes St. Louis rank at the top in the U.S. based on a per capita basis. Regardless though anything can happen anywhere but the city has such a mix of good neighborhoods that are so close to high crime areas. It's really a struggle here trying to come up with ways to improve. On the News people in those neighborhoods talk of hearing gunfire throughout the night and even stray bullets are somtimes deadly.
@@larryloveless2967 true fact. East St. Louis is the bad area and it's not in Mjssouri
@@AJ42K Good point.
@@AJ42K the whole St Louis City limits is bad save some parts just south pf downtown. The Northside is a nightmare way worse than the ESL
This has got to be the most uninformed video I have ever seen
These low IQ populations just struggle, it's not your fault.
First of all I live in Suriname. My parents came here from Amerika and my father has been here over 40 years. Suriname is not perfect but if you look at the things mentioned in this video about Suriname they are just minor things. For your information, the president he was talking about lost the election in May 2020 so we have a new president. I have lived here my whole life. Is it perfect, No. Is any country perfect? NO!!! When going to a new place, don't expect it to be the same as what you are used to but try to learn that every country and place is different.
Dude, I have lived in Ecuador for five years. ALMOST everything you said about Guayaquil is not true. Buy car, it’s around 10-12 HOURS to Colombia. It is filthy though. I live in Cuenca, prettier than anywhere in Hawaii, which I lived for a few years.
EDIT: I misspelled something’s because I was upset. I only corrected. Ecuador is a wonderful place to live, and am sad to say, as I am a 100% permanent and totally disabled Navy vet, I have more civil liberties here. The only thing that sucks are the earthquakes, but you get used to them. Y’all come visit!
Hey Robert. If you don't mind me asking, how does the banking work over there? I am also a disabled Veteran looking to move abroad and is curious about how to get my disability pay while living abroad.
Sometimes I think Briggs doesn't quite do his due diligence.
As an Ecuadorian, thank you for your honesty. I'm happy people like you have moved to Ecuador. God bless you.
@@puttytat007 I lived in Quito and taught English. I traveled your country and loved every bit of it. I truly miss it and hope I get the opportunity to return. I'm sure you'll know what I mean by this but I think Briggs must have got his information from a serrano, you know the rivalry that exists. They all told me how bad Guayaquil was and when I went there to visit I saw it was nothing like they said then the costeños told me how bad Quito was so at that moment I figured it out and just had to laugh.
Visited Ecuador in 2017 on a whim. Didn’t visit Guayaquil, but Quito and the highland and Amazonian regions. It’s a beautiful country with wonderful people. On of my most favorite trips. Would love to go back and recommend it to friends all the time. The water quality issue is probably true. Probably would mess with a foreigner. We drank bottled water the entire time. Also took some getting used to not flushing your toilet paper because of the plumbing system.
Good vid. I’m Brazilian living abroad and I’ve used to have a good impression about Natal (never had been there). Thank you for the heads up.
Always bear in mind, travelling vs. living in a place is something completely different.
100...Im from Texas and live in Medellín now for the past 3 years. Also, my first time to Brasil was only one week...in 2019 NYE, i was on Copacabanna beach
and stayed in Rio througout Carnival. Go to Rio for 1 week and you will be ready to live there for years.
south america is like 95% rainforest and yall still wanna go to a beach.....it’s the stupidity for me
Fr. I spent several months in the Peruvian Amazon living with a Shaman. Doing ayahuasca, living close to nature and becoming self reliant brought me an entirely new perspective on life. I feel so much more in peace and motivated to live this life.
Exactly my point. Of course it’s gonna be a bad beach destination if it’s not a beach destination to begin with. This video is full of ignorance
No
False
@@dandei545 ok
Briggs, I teach history and geography in Ecuador. If one of my students presented a report like this in my class, I would be graceful and give them an Incomplete, so they could redeem their grade. Have you been to South America? If so, you would know most of what you offer as 'issues' are commonplace around the continent. Yes, there are challenges, but find me a place which does not. Your assessment of place, proximity and climate of Guayaquil are 100% off. Perhaps, it will be best you stick to campy assessments of places you truly know by having visited them.
i agree it sounds like he has not viisited must of the cities he mentioned
He's partially right. The quality of the Water in Guayaquil is very poor.

Don't pull out a smart phone in public if you want to keep it. Especially watch out for guys on scooters that will about run you over to grab your smart phone. This is at 1pm in the afternoon, so just imagine what it would be like at night? Dress like you are poor and don't flash cash, smart phone, jewelry, etc...
I live here and it’s quite nice. It’s a large city, a little common sense goes a long way. Don’t flash your phone, leave jewelry at home and you’ll be fine. And I haven’t met a Colombian that thinks Escobar was a hero- far from it.
I sailed around South America while in the US Navy. While valiantly fighting off prostitutes in defense of our country, I can tell you that Rio is pretty nasty, Lima was awesome, and most cities there have the same problems as American cities have.
I'm so very proud of you!!! Being able to dodge those hoards of whores...but I think you wandered around the tourist areas without really seeing much while in Rio. I've been there eight times and only once was I bothered with a pickpocket. Sure, there are putas in Copacabana, along with vendors selling all sorts of junk, i.e., plastic alligator toys, hot roasted peanuts, cacahuetes, tooth brushes, condoms? Ipanema and Leblon are a bit more upscale. It's a beautiful city, with many many problems. But....you should try New Orleans if you haven't already. Lots of putains, drunks, pickpockets, violence at any time. It's a fun city though. I've been there about one hundred times. Never been bothered. You looked military, short hair cut, non portuguese speaking....turista do navio....of course, you were a magnet for putas. I will write...it's fun to visit Rio and New Orleans, but living in those places is altogether a different idea. Glad you got back to the USA safely.....
Hooyah shipmate ....I mainly deployed to fifth fleet but currently live in So. America as a civilian. I thought zona sul Rio was amazing...even the favelas. Lima, Peru is my top four worldwide cities: Hong Kong, Rio, Dubai, Lima
I used to travel to Brazil and other South American locations for business quite intensively years ago and I have visited Rio, Natal and Santiago from this list. I have to agree with everything our host is saying.
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Altough we have awful poor places and a terrible government, we are still a beautiful country with awesome landscapes, unique passion for sports and awesome food and people. South America is a beautiful place, don’t hesitate to consider visiting Argentina🇦🇷.( Vamos Boca💙💛)

This list lost all credibility as soon as the narrator included Santiago, Chile. Santiago isn't even as dangerous as Charlotte or Denver. Makes me doubt whatever you said about the other nine places as a result.
Santiago is a beautiful, safe and prosperous city, no more dangerous than any other large city anywhere in the world. I have been living in SA since 2002, though I first came here in 1997. This video is nothing but BS, don't believe anything he says.

The slums in Rio are nothing compared to Natal.
And Santiago is like any big american city, with less crime and more polite people.
