Colombia Safe Areas
Above is a "safety map" of Colombia. The map offers a very general picture of where it is safe to travel and where it is not. The red areas are generally considered unsafe. The darker the red, the more unsafe.
The situation has improved during the past few years and is NOT accurately reflected in this map which has been in general use, for the past 5 years. Always get up do date information if you are traveling off the beaten track.
The border area with Panama is considered unsafe. You can still go to Capurgana, but you have to go by plane (from Medellin for example) and stay in the village - don't even think of traveling of the beaten track here, too much guerilla and paramilitary activity.
The whole region east of the mountains is still considered unsafe, except for Iquitos (which is at the southern tip of Colombia).
The road between Cali and Popayan is unsafe: do not take night buses as there are many robberies on this road.
Generally, the cities in Colombia are safe, but the countryside can be unsafe. Don't travel to the countryside without getting up do date information about the area where you are going.
