Insurance in Colombia
There seems to be some confusion concerning insurance requirements for Colombia. I was under the impression from various earlier postings that insurance was not obligatory to ride through Colombia on a foreign registered bike.
After being stopped by the police riding down to Bogota from Cartegena, I was advised on two occasions that insurance is mandatory. I had a sufficiently good cover story to see me through but I may not be so lucky further south.
A friend in Bogota showed me the equivalent of the Colombian Highway Code and this did indeed confirm the need for insurance.
