Colombia - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
What does this mean?›
Government advisories are the highest-weighted signal (50%) because they already absorb granular crime, terrorism, kidnapping and political-stability intelligence. A Level 4 (Do Not Travel) advisory is the strongest possible warning — active conflict, severe crime, terrorism or unstable transport infrastructure.
- Level 1
- Normal precautions
- Level 2
- Increased caution
- Level 3
- Reconsider travel
- Level 4
- Do not travel
