Welcome to Colombia
When traveling to Colombia people make many of the mistakes that I mention in the video. That is why here you will find some tips for traveling Colombia and how to avoid the most common mistakes when traveling Colombia.
For example, tourists do not understand what is the best time to travel to Colombia or the climate of Colombia. In Colombia there is rainy season and dry season and it is not the same in the whole country, so it is necessary to inform yourself beforehand.
But there are other errors when coming to Colombia such as not getting vaccinated against some tropical diseases in Colombia.

Among other common mistakes when traveling to Colombia is over-scheduling, traveling on holidays and believing everything you read on the internet.

Hello! I’m the California and I was wondering do you need to buy another SIM card for your cell phone to work out there?
No need but cheaper
Im from Bogota originally , but have lived in the USA last 45 years. Would like to return for a golf trip, any courses you recommend, near Bucaramanga or Medellin?
yes, you will find them on our website www.pelecanus.com.co
I’ve been to Columbia number of times not a big fan of Bogota.. barranquilla Medellin and Santa Marta I like the best..But with any of them try to stay in the areas mostly for tourist and avoid sketchy spots.. but my utmost favorite is Santa Marta.. airbnb‘s are great hotels are fairly cheap and reasonable many things to do mini tours and most of them are good and reasonable priced I have found
Thanks for sharing!
As an American coming from the US I wholeheartedly want to avoid as many as possible. Moving to Bogota. I adore the weather. 💙
@@Kozette88 Well you should also be mindful moving to Bogotá … there are some Know Go zones for Americans just be safe Bogota is not a bad place I just not through the weather that I prefer but to each their own

How to have Columbia visas in UAE

I do not recommend driving
Where are you???Im in Medellin.have u friends here???
Hi I'm coming to Colombia on Thursday can I get your info please for tour guy
where is the third word country you are mentioning from time to time where is it coming from???
Is Barranquilla a good place to travel too? Thinking of going there next year near December 🥰
not really
Lol I disagree. I'm in San Juan in laureles. Went to the mall to get service with Claro for my phone. Only cash....even in the mall
Is there currently a lot of tourism going on in Bogota? Or has Covid put a cease on things
International tourism is down but not because of Colombia but restrictions of the other countries. Traveling in Colombia now is very relaxed
I'm planning on traveling down there in September for my bday
Is it better to get a regular cab? Or get uber or tappsi?
there is not better, it is a matter of taste
@@COLOMBIAFRANK so what’s your taste?
People think you are safer in Uber
Hi love this video!
I know this is a bit off topic but what does one carry around with them for ID, if they don't have a Cedula ID and passport is dangerous to carry ?
I am coming to Colombia for 6 months on a Tourist visa or Student visa.
Carrying a passport isn't safe, so could I just make a photo copy of the passport and get it laminated? Or should I get Cedula ID for only 6 months?
Thank you!!
I think the danger to carry a passport is to loose it. Just make a copy in a corner shop, costs you nothing. If it is worn out after 2 month, make another copy
@@COLOMBIAFRANK perfect thank you for your response!! So excited to move there
I was thinking getting a Cedula might be unnecessary, unless I get a Student visa, and want to open a bank account
@@COLOMBIAFRANK thank you for the tips!!
@@COLOMBIAFRANK exactly. I too carry a colored paper copy of my passport as to not risk loosing the real thing.
@@Acteaon thank you so much for responding! Good to know paper copy is fine
Does it have to be a colored copy?
I don't think the links to your personal website are working. I keep getting rerouted to a fake instagram website.
yes i know, sorry about that. Our website got hacked. we also will launch a new website soon and then hopefully all the problems will be solved
👍🙏megusto
How do you bring weed on plane too Columbia
you don't
Can help us for Columbia visa ?
no
The first step it to spell correctly the name of the country 😁
Just don't go there to begin with.After 4 weeks of holiday in Bello, Envigado, el Poblado, Medellin, I got out of Colombia. What place not all but many people are out to find ways to scam you out of as many pesos as possible. Tried the airbnb in 3 different locations one infested with cockroach the other was threaten by the host son in the next apt for complaining about the music at 3am 5-6 nights a week and the last was a total scam listed an address for a decent location apt. but was brought to a completly different address at the time of checking in. Not to mention being ripoff by almost all the taxi drivers and short changed by many vendors. Sept. 12, 2023 to mid Oct. 2023.
I live in Colombia for 8 years now and never had something close happening to me. Maybe you should check your approach. But fraud happen here, no doubt about that
can i just speak english in colombia
No
No
You can speak any language, any time at any country now if they understand you or not that is a different subject it's your choice if you want to communicate with the non bilingual locals
You’re joking right
Yo intentando entender el inglés, pero no cojo ni la mitad de la mitad de las palabras 😢🤣
I could not finish this, this guy is super irritating
