Can you travel to Colombia right now?

Between what is reported in international media and what is actually experienced on the ground, the gap can be significant. At Terra Colombia, our role is neither to downplay the situation nor to exaggerate it, but to provide you with useful, up-to-date insights. What follows is based on our daily presence in the field, the experience of our local team, the information shared by our partners across the country, and the trips currently taking place in Colombia.

With practical advice, real local perspectives, and recent safety updates, this article is here to help you see things clearly and prepare your adventure with confidence.

In early January 2026, significant events in neighboring Venezuela raised concerns. That is completely understandable. In reality, however, this situation has had virtually no impact on tourism in Colombia. The only effects have been limited mainly nowhere near any touristic region.

Politically and socially, while occasional internal tensions or protests may occur (as in any functioning democracy), public order is generally maintained, and Colombian authorities ensure the safety of residents and visitors alike.

Tourism is a key sector of the Colombian economy. For this reason, guides, drivers, and hotel staff pay special attention to the well-being and safety of visitors, as their livelihood depends directly on the quality of their service and the trust of travelers. Colombian hospitality is not a myth, it is deeply rooted in the country’s culture. Colombians are known for their warmth and their respect, and the current period is no exception.

For you as a traveler, this translates into a simple reality: the country continues to function, welcome visitors, and organize itself around tourism.

Traveling with Terra Colombia means choosing a local agency established in Colombia for nearly 15 years, with in-depth knowledge of the country.

Our support begins as early as the planning stage of your trip. We design each itinerary taking into account local realities, current recommendations, and your personal travel wishes. First-hand, we work with a wide network of trusted partners, every single one of whom we know personally: experienced guides, private drivers who know their regions perfectly, and carefully selected accommodations.

Throughout your trip, we maintain constant monitoring of the political and security situation. This ongoing attention allows us to anticipate potential adjustments and, if necessary, quickly adapt programs to ensure smooth, stress-free stays.

This reality is lived every day by travelers just like you.

While some are still hesitating, others have already taken the leap. Every week, families, couples, groups of friends, and solo travelers explore Colombia, discovering its vibrant cities, breathtaking landscapes, and dreamy sandy beaches.

💬 “A 100% reliable agency! We were able to enjoy a three-week, fully customized trip that perfectly matched our wishes thanks to their valuable advice. On site, the drivers and guides were serious and motivated. We enjoyed the beauty of the landscapes with complete peace of mind and took part in original activities (e-mountain biking in the Medellín region, a street food tour in Cartagena, etc.). In short, an excellent agency we will not hesitate to use again.”
