Colombia is a country like any other, it has virtues and drawbacks, so the best way to answer that question is to come and visit it on your own, so you can decide what to say when you are asked that question. I hear the parties in Colombia are very wild! Could I go wild too? That's up to you, but first of all, I want to remind you that sex tourism is completely forbidden by the Colombian constitution as well as the consumption of psychoactive substances for recreational use. So if you want to have fun in any of these ways, you can't do it in the place where the group is staying or during our guided tours or stops. You may only do so during your free time and it is completely at your own risk. Important: To enter Colombia you must be vaccinated, recover from COVID-19 or present PCR or a so-called TMA test. 📭 Do you still have questions? Don´t hesitate to contact me!
