You do realize Colombia has changed right? Some people even consider Brazil more dangerous than Colombia nowadays. And no of course not all of South America is dangerous. Each country has its safe and dangerous parts. Every city has its safe and dangerous parts. Usually big cities tend to be safer.
Colombia is a lot safer than what you have heard I was there in December. You just have to be careful and not get into the dangerous places. Chile well it is a little dangerous same thing be careful and aware of your surroundings. The security is the same as any big city anywhere in the world. You just have to be aware and alert with your surroundings. And don't get into places where it is dangerous. All you have to do is practice the safety procedures that you would do here in the States.
No, actually Argentina, Chile and Uruguay are safer than the US.
I'm 21, have lived in Brazil all my life, and I'm still alive. So, no.
Certain parts, just like you wouldnt step in some places in detroit or chicago
Obviously there are countries to stay out of like Colombia but what about countries like Brazil, Argentina and Chile?
