I'm going to Colombia on a mission trip through my school. Is it safe for me to go? Do you have any tips?

Bogota, Barranquilla, Santa Marta and Giradot are all safe.. Just dont be stupid. Dont dress flashy. Dont show a lot of cash (Most US ATM cards work there except at servi-banc, which sucks) Dont criticize how hot it is in Giradot.. Instead take a boat ride on the Magdalena.. See the beer company pump its water (Its a nasty gray) into the fabrica. Tons of things to do. Dont be pushy with your religion.
