    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.
    For more medical advice to Colombia check out this blog: www.pelecanus.com.co/colombia...
    Among other common mistakes when traveling to Colombia is over-scheduling, traveling on holidays and believing everything you read on the internet.

    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!!

    • @COLOMBIAFRANK
      @COLOMBIAFRANK  Před 3 lety +3

      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

    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.
