Colombia, Antioquia, Nariño -- Son Son DO NOT GO!
 

HU,

A warning. At the road East of Medellin of Medellin that goes from La Union, Son Son, Nariño there is currently a lot of violence. Not in La Union, but close to Son Son it becomes more volatile. La Union is perfectly fine!

There is a new villain that is keeping these villages in their arm. It is better to avoid these areas. You should go on the main road if you come from Bogota and drive until SunSet (Max).

See!

thanks for reporting!

wow
 

I dont know what you perceive as dangerous I have been in Colombia since late 2016 and have ridden 0ver 80000 km as of today and a lot of it solo in my travels exploring the country I have not had a incident or a problem I have been to every hot spot in Colombia and never had a problem or felt insecure Colombia is a Paradiso for motos

To be fair, that doesn't mean violence doesn't happen

Agree 100% with tohellnback. I'm at over 15,000KM all over Colombia and never had an issue.

Sure, trouble/violence exists, but usually, you are stopped by the police or military before you get to those areas causing trouble, or those involved are just not interested in you. Plus combine that with some common sense, and your riding should be "violence" free in Colombia.

I agree that you can travel widely and not run into trouble, however... if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time things can get difficult.

That's pretty much true of everywhere on the planet.
