It`s estrato 3. Not so good but no sad bad either. I find that area kind of loud actually.
Sadly, I`m almost 100% sure that`s where an american woman was killed in Dec.
Sorry to tell you that.
It`s very close to the bus terminal (10 min walking downhill). Giron is about 20 mons by car (a town kept like it was in the 1600`s). Airport is about 30 mins

Democratic party or Republican party is fine......as long as theres a party!!!!!!!

I read about the American woman that was killed in BGA. Just searched and sure enough it was in Barrio Jardines de Coaviconsa. Disconcerting but hopefully that was an isolated incident.

Have an amiga in BGA that lives in this barrio and was curious about the neighborhood. Maybe I need to decline the invitation to stay at her house.

I wouldn´t think it is connected. It was an isolated incident. Apparently she made a mistake by withdrawing too much cash w/o police protection.
don´t let that bug you. The town is mighthy secure
This park is about 1 hr from the city. the view is just gorgeous!
