You should consider how you will get around

When you realize how big Colombia is, you realize how difficult it will be to see everything you want to see. When you consider that the Andes Mountains run right through the country, it is easy to see why planning your transportation is so important.

Whether you are traveling between destinations by taxi, bus, or plane, you will need to consider your time constraints and budget. Taking a taxi in Colombia is generally safe. It is always preferable to request a radio taxi from the hotel or restaurant rather than hail a cab on the street. Before getting in the car, you need to always agree on a price. The yellow taxis never caused any problems; they always got to your destination safely and for a reasonable price. Uber is available in larger cities. Because Uber is illegal in Colombia, it is best to sit in the front row next to the driver so it appears that he is giving a ride to a friend rather than a customer.
