The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway has issued a revised travel advisory for Colombia, indicating a tightening in restrictions related to travel in the region. The advisory acknowledges that while many major cities and established tourist areas have generally been accessible to foreign travelers, there are substantial risks associated with travel just outside these safe zones. Specifically, non-essential trips within 20 kilometers of the borders with Venezuela and Ecuador are now discouraged. The government cites the presence of armed groups and criminal networks as significant concerns in these regions, which potentially jeopardize the safety of travelers.
