rf comments on Bogotá-Cali by bus?

to jaunalejo juanalejo viejo good point... i like the golddiggers and getting drunk remark .. you got a cuckle from me. But in all seriousness I still continue to believe WHY TAKE THE RISK? If you are not a local and plan to travel by road I just don't see why anybody would want to take the risk. I understand the risk is low, but for a foreigner to simply take the risk without some carefull planning just sounds ridiculous to me. Personally i just can't see myself taking the chance (even if its 5%) to lose my FREEDOM over seeing the country and its people as you mentioned. I'll stick with the post card.. but thats just me

rf comments on Search: Cali hotel, ~$30 USD per night

here's some hotel info Hey man I'll be at la Feria de Cali as well partying HARD... We got a big group from New York ready to go CRAZY down there. I just reserved a hotel .. here are some of the hotels I found doing my researh

http://www.hotelvizcayareal.com.co - only 1/2 block away from la 6ta Avenida.. north side - $120,000/night

http://www.hoteldonjaime.com - right at the epicenter of the CRAZYNESS! Its on la 6ta Avenida... you can party and know that your hotel is only a block away. We're staying here... Its very loud at night... $128,300/night

http://www.hotelgranadareal.com - located in the upscale neighborhood of Barrio Granada... very posh and elegant and also a couple of blocks from la 6ta ... 130,000/night

http://www.hotelplazaversalles.com - also very upscale - only a block away from la 6ta - 135,000/night

http://www.hotelvallerealcali.com - probably the most upscale of all but also the most expensive... 2 blocks away from la 6ta - 160,000/night

These are probably the best hotels if your planning to be at la Feria de Cali... they are convienently located in the Norte part of Cali.. they are all located close to la 6ta ... I wouldn't recommend staying in cheaper hotels.. these are all within the same price range and offer you security and convenience..

Nos Vemos en las Tascas!

why even take the risk? If you can afford to travel by air don't bother with the risks. Its not worth it. Get on a plane and you will be in your hotel in less than 2 hours. Unfortunately, even a bus ride for locals is a strain on their budget. Therefore, the are forced to take this risk regardless of the threat of danger. Traveling by road in Colombia is a known risk. I really don't understand why someone would bother if they can afford air transportation. If you can't and bus is the only way to go.. well you know the risks. Don't expect a magical reply on this site.. it won't happen. The risk is VERY REAL. If you decided to travel on a bus.. be smart... avoid foreign clothes, don't show off, be very humble and try to blend in as much as you can. Travel with someone who speaks the language.

Remember.. you are in a third world country... and even though you are traveling between to major cities... the world between bogota and cali is completely different. BE SMART!
