Colombia Information - Best current info

Overseas security advisor used by many oil companies. Saw something relating to this in another post but they gave no link. This link puts you directly to the Colombia page. Many other countries available check it out. Remember, no one is going to tell you it is totally safe anywhere. http://www.ds-osac.org/view.cfm?key=7E445C424456&type=2B170C1E0A3A0F162820 See lots of questions requesting "facts". US CIA has a fact book on every country in the world. Available to everyone. This is the direct link to Colombia. http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/co.html Helps answer a lot of questions. At one time, much informaiton on this site is correct if authored by the site owner, "Peter". They are pretty much "right on" for the larger cities. Unfortunately, the change shows name posted as the author of many he didn't start.

After saying that, try this if you want more information:

Learn how to speak Spanish

Find a local Colombian "friend" where you now live. Get a reference.

Take a trip and stay a month or two.

I've been in Colombia about 1 year out of the last two. I did this and am on my way back next month.
