- Colombia ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Migración Colombia or a Colombian consulate; some travellers must complete an online migration form before arrival.
- Colombia ↗Security advice lists specific departments and border areas: check your own government's advice for every place on your route, including coastal roads.
- Colombia ↗Never accept drinks, food or cigarettes from strangers, and be careful with people met on dating apps: drugging (including with scopolamine) followed by robbery is a known risk.
- Bogotá and surroundings ↗The Sabana is cool and rainy in any month: carry a rain jacket and a warm layer even in the dry season.
- Bogotá ↗Candelaria streets are narrow, uneven and partly cobbled, and empty after dark: large suitcases go from the car to the hotel door, never on a walk.
- Bogotá ↗Weekday rush hours (about 06:30–09:00 and 16:30–19:30) can double car times; plan cross-city rides outside them.
