I’m traveling to Buenaventura, Colombia & this Gringo would appreciate any insight or opinions. Firstly, is it safe? It is better to fly from Cali or to drive? Any recommended activities?

id like to know of the prices (in USD possibly) of renting cheap apartmans per month. the best would be somewhere by the sea: Tumaco, Buenaventura, or Cartagena for example, but im also interested in the prices in the heart of the country: Medellín, Bogota etc. also id like to know how much does heating, water, and electricity cost per month… is it always warm there or those it snow/rain/get cold frequently? thx a lot

I have received conflicting info re driving from Cali to Buenaventura. Does anyone know if the highway is safe for an American to travel? Would I be better taking a taxi or a public bus? Also how about the city of Buenaventura - is it safe? Can I walk around at night? Is one part of Buenaventura better / safer than other parts? Are there any Internet Cafes?
