    I’ve been to Columbia number of times not a big fan of Bogota.. barranquilla Medellin and Santa Marta I like the best..But with any of them try to stay in the areas mostly for tourist and avoid sketchy spots.. but my utmost favorite is Santa Marta.. airbnb‘s are great hotels are fairly cheap and reasonable many things to do mini tours and most of them are good and reasonable priced I have found

    Hi love this video!
    I know this is a bit off topic but what does one carry around with them for ID, if they don't have a Cedula ID and passport is dangerous to carry ?
    I am coming to Colombia for 6 months on a Tourist visa or Student visa.
    Carrying a passport isn't safe, so could I just make a photo copy of the passport and get it laminated? Or should I get Cedula ID for only 6 months?
    Thank you!!

    • @COLOMBIAFRANK
      @COLOMBIAFRANK  3 года назад +3

      I think the danger to carry a passport is to loose it. Just make a copy in a corner shop, costs you nothing. If it is worn out after 2 month, make another copy
