Why do you want to go there. That`s not a place to stay for a foreigner too danerous. Go to Candelaria.

Very interesting of you Makopp5 stating that Kennedy is too dangerous. I thought under Uribe we were living in wonderland. No pun intented.


Kennedy has many safe areas.

webmanco

there are still several places which are not ok to go for foreigners and most of colombians. just read my posts, I refer to trends and this are very positive. Or isn`t it ok when violent deads from 2000 29850 were and in 2008 around 16.200. I know this numbers were going up this year a little bit. Thanks Plan Colombia and Seguridad Democratica.

Just tell what`s so interesting in Kennedy? Have you been there on your own?

I do got there but not for the reasons you do. I had been only twice in those antros, chuzos etc. Not my kind of fun.

Not risk not fun. People misses a lot for being scare "not taking risks". It is not a risk for me or even some foreigners to go to Kennedy, Bosa, even Ciudad Bolivar. There are nice people and activities all over Colombia not only in the so called safe places.

There is a Hostal right on Av Ciudad de Cali in front of Carefour, the truth is a "decent" safe and clean place for lovers.

At that point to the east is Kennedy and to the west is Patio Bonito, ni es patio, ní es bonito.

Come on guys, this is a good example of what I consider improper behavior. We get a simple straightforward request for information and it took about 15 comments to get to the point. Sure we know that Kennedy is not where we would stay but after a warning then come up with the information

Hey Kat, I remember you are from Kennedy. I have spent alot of time in Suba. I know both areas are very large, but would you say they are somewhat similar, as far as safety. I have never actually been to Kennedy, but I would imagine it is, in general, similar to Suba. What is your thinking on that, as far as which you would consider more safe for foreigners, and in general?

traveling hopefully is always better than arriving

and, by the way, I know of no hotels in Suba. Motels, yes, which have a different connotation than in the US, but hotels, no. I like Suba, overall, and I said, it is huge, and not very far from downtown or the north, but I am curious how it compares to Kennedy, if anybody knows that area, which is equally huge. If I had to guess, I would say Kennedy is a bit more poor, and therefore, a bit more dangerous to foreigners, but I'm not sure on that.

Kennedy goes from estrato 1 to 4, as Kennedy is the biggest area of Bogota, estrato 1 being Socorro or Britalia, estrato 4 around Las Americas. As i said Kennedy is dangerous but depends where you go, Bosa, Britalia, Roma I would not go there at night or around Corabastos, but Techo, Banderas, Catilla near Plaza de la Americas those areas are fine.

Just like Suba, sube have good areas and bad areas as it is a large Barrio in Bogota
