Latest security info for Colombian Routes 45 & 24
Hello
My partner and I (on two bikes) will be leaving Bogota soon to ride to Ecuador. We want to use routes 45 and 24 to get from Bogota to Popayan, and then from there to the border on the Interamericana.
A Colombian friend of mine has told me that the area around San Agustin is currently not secure due to guerilla activity and the recent assasination of the FARC leader in the hills near there. He has said that this includes the above routes (45 and 24).
Does anyone out there have any additional information? Has anyone travelled this route recently? Are there any other internet resources available to assess the risk of using this route?
Thanks guys and gals
