13 things to know before visiting Colombia

Feb 29, 2024 • 9 min read

From health and safety to etiquette, these tips can help you plan your trip to Colombia © jeremykingnz / Shutterstock

Whether you’re drawn by its beguiling coastlines , untamed jungle or high-altitude national parks , Colombia is guaranteed to dazzle.

After decades of association with armed conflict and drug cartels, this South American country has moved well beyond those dark decades, emerging from that chapter of history as one of the continent’s most thrilling and welcoming destinations to explore . 

Travelers to Colombia should prepare for a trip that will leave them wishing they never had a return ticket, thanks to the country’s remarkably warm and friendly people and uniquely Latin spirit.

Follow these tips on planning and health and safety to ensure a truly unforgettable trip to Colombia.

1. Don't attempt to see all of Colombia in one trip

A big mistake that even seasoned travelers have made is to try and pack too much into a trip around Colombia. Before trying to squeeze every last corner of the country into a two-week itinerary, cast your eyes over the map.

Stick to exploring one section of the country and exploring it well: spend three weeks bouncing between sun-soaked,  Caribbean beaches or heading from Medellín deep into the Zona Cafetera . Your trip should match Colombia’s characteristic pace: slow and enjoyable. 

2. Domestic flights are affordable and quick

If you’re still planning to cram as many places as possible into a short trip, Colombia’s wealth of low-cost airlines offer the most efficient way of getting around (although there's your carbon footprint to consider too).

While nothing quite compares with the cultural experience of taking a regional bus (where you’ll be “entertained” by deafening music for the duration), increasingly cheap fares are available for domestic flights.

Don’t be fooled by headline prices, these typically don’t include checked baggage. Peak traveling seasons (December through mid-January, Semana Santa and June through August) will add a premium and can sell out rapidly, so book flights in advance if visiting during these months.

3. Pack for all weather

Whether you’re hitting the Caribbean coast or heading to the rainier climes of the capital,  Bogotá , you can expect to experience a full array of weather conditions.

While Colombia officially has two distinct seasons – the dry season (December through February and July through August) and the rainy season (April, May, and September through November) – because of the country’s variation in altitudes and ecosystems, you’ll probably experience all four seasons in one trip.

As a rule, the Caribbean coast is hot and humid, while Bogotá and the wider Andean regions receive a surfeit of rain. Come prepared with plenty of layers, including a warm, easy-to-pack rain jacket, and you’ll be primed to adapt to whatever the weather might throw at you.

4. A little Spanish will get you a long way

For a country so long enveloped by violent conflict, Colombia today is a remarkably open and welcoming destination for international travelers. Wherever you are, it’s easy to strike up a conversation with the owner of a restaurant, your taxi driver or a local enjoying the sunshine in a city plaza (and they’ll be delighted if you do!).

Knowing more than the basics of Spanish can go a long way, spurring engaging, fascinating conversations about Colombian culture, football, history and politics.

Colombian Spanish, particularly in Bogotá and Medellín, is considered one of the easiest to understand in Latin America because Colombians tend to enunciate their words. Make the most of affordable language schools in both cities to get some practice in before you head out into the rest of the country.

5. There are checkpoints with a strong military presence

When traveling in rural parts of Colombia, it’s not uncommon to come across road checkpoints staffed by army personnel, who’ll often ask to see your documents before waving you on your way.

In areas recently opened to tourism, you might even spot tanks and other military vehicles stationed alongside roads. 

While it might seem intimidating, the strong military presence around the country is there for the safety of the local people – and you. Be polite and have the correct paperwork (either your actual passport or a photocopy of the main page and entry stamp) with you, and you’ll rarely have an issue.

6. Don’t expect punctuality

Like much of Latin America, Colombian culture isn’t known for its strict adherence to the clock, and a punctuality-obsessed traveler is often a disappointed one. “Colombian time” is practically its own time zone, and you should leave any notions of timeliness at home.

To avoid getting frustrated, relax and embrace being flexible – really, the only way to deal with the typically laid-back Colombian attitude toward life, the universe and pretty much everything.

While big, inter-regional buses and flights do tend to leave on time, tight schedules aren't followed in many other contexts. If you’re making an appointment with a Colombian person or waiting for a rural colectivo to depart, bring a book as you may well be waiting up to an hour beyond the agreed time.

7. Drugs and talking about that Netflix show are big no-nos

If there’s one way to annoy Colombians, it’s to get onto a topic that many Western tourists, despite Colombian’s attempts to dissuade them, continue to associate with the country: drugs. Illegal substances are a taboo subject in Colombia, and despite (or more likely, because of) the country’s history, few Colombians take them.

Residents of Medellín, in particular, are fed up with the city’s association with drug cartels and with tourists who go there to use cocaine, which is illegal and could see you getting into a lot of trouble if caught. 

When traveling in Colombia, don’t mention Narcos , either. Colombians are frustrated with the Netflix show’s portrayal of the country and what they see as the exaltation of a mass murderer.

Show some respect and steer clear of the many Pablo Escobar tours, too. Listening to local people's experiences during the drug-war years is likely to be far more informative and accurate.

8. Taxis will help you get around safely

While safety is no longer the same overwhelming concern it once was, taking taxis when traveling between neighborhoods in big cities across Colombia is a sensible choice.

Wandering around at night, particularly after you’ve had a shot of heady aguardiente or two, is often an invitation to opportunist thieves.

Taxis are extremely affordable and relatively painless if using a ride-share app, such as Cabify or Uber . Hailing a taxi can leave you open to scams or worse, so calling for a cab (or asking your hotel to) is recommended. Always confirm the price or check that the taxi has a working meter before entering a vehicle.

9. Bogotá has a well-established gay scene

Homosexuality was decriminalized in Colombia in early 1980s, and the first same-sex marriage ceremony was performed in 2013 – evidence that this country has some of the more progressive attitudes toward LGBTIQ+ rights in Latin America.

Bogotá has a well-established gay scene, with bars and nightlife mostly found in Chapinero, one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods . Some lodgings and restaurants are beginning to advertise themselves as gay-friendly.

Despite its progressive laws, much of Colombian society remains traditionalist, and many same-sex couples still feel unsafe showing affection in public. For more information specifically for LGBTIQ+ travelers, check out Guia Gay Colombia. 

10. Tipping isn’t obligatory, but it is appreciated

Dining out in Colombia is extremely affordable.

When you go to pay the bill at fancier or more upmarket restaurants, it’s likely you’ll be asked if you want to include the propina (tip), typically around 10% of the cost of the meal.

Service in restaurants, cafes and bars across Colombia is generally much better than in many other parts of South America , so unless you had a terrible experience, consider paying the tip to show your appreciation. 

11. Traveling is safe – but stick to the beaten track

Colombia has experienced an about-face in the past few decades, shedding its title as one of Latin America’s most dangerous countries and coming into its own as a worthy travel destination.

It all comes down to the history-making peace accords signed in 2016 between the Colombian government and the FARC, which, after five decades of conflict, have led to many rural parts of the country finally shifting from no-go areas into welcoming places for visitors.

However, it still isn’t wise to go too far off the beaten path. Some rural areas remain dangerous because of their links with neo-paramilitary and drug-trafficking groups, particularly along the borders with Panama, Venezuela and Ecuador.

Before traveling anywhere unusual, always research the situation on the ground as well as your government’s travel advisories.

12. Scams and muggings do happen

While safety has improved significantly, you should always “ no dar papaya .” This delightful idiom – which literally translates to “don’t give papaya” – means you should always keep your wits about you, staying alert to those who would take advantage of you.

In practice, this means following common-sense guidelines: don’t wander down dark, empty streets at night, don’t head out into neighborhoods you don’t know without checking their safety first and don’t flap about the city with an expensive camera or phone on display.

Travel insurance is essential because muggings are, unfortunately still an issue in cities such as Bogota, Cali and Medellín.

You should never resist if someone tries to rob you. Distraction techniques are those used most fruitfully by would-be thieves, so always be wary of people coming up to you in the street or being asked to show your money to scammers posing as police officers.

If things do go wrong, head to the nearest police station immediately to report the crime. The police will put together a report and give you a copy, which you’ll need to make an insurance claim.

13. Don’t let this country’s history scare you away

Colombia has come on leaps and bounds since the dark days of the 1980s and 1990s, and its residents are more than excited to show you their beautiful and wonderfully diverse country.

The biggest mistake you can make is to let Netflix or historic newspaper headlines scare you away: this is a country that just about every traveler can’t help but fall in love with. The biggest danger when visiting Colombia? Finding yourself never wanting to leave.

25 Helpful Travel Tips for Colombia

Going to a developing country takes some extra planning, and it’s a bit different from what you may be used to. I encourage you to consider going to more local-type establishments to get to know the real Colombia instead of staying in 5-star resorts and not leaving the property.

To enjoy the trip, you will want to do some preparation in advance, and these Colombia travel tips will be helpful for when you arrive and you are traveling around.

The first five is a list of Colombia travel tips that will be great to know before you leave, though they can help you while you’re in Colombia as well. The remainder will be helpful while you’re traveling.

One thing to keep in mind is that many of these travel tips for Colombia apply to many Latin American countries. So, flag this page for future trips!

1. Learn Some Basic Spanish

Most Colombians don’t speak English, though you can generally find someone who can help you in a pinch in larger cities like Bogotá, Cartagena, and Medellín.

It will be really helpful if you learn at least some basic Spanish to help you with basic things like checking into a hotel, ordering food, finding your way around, getting directions, and purchasing things.

My Spanish is pretty poor, but I know some basics, and between that, context, and pantomiming, you’d be surprised how well you can communicate.

Bring a dictionary or have Google Translate teed up on your phone. It’s one of the really helpful apps that I highly recommend and one you will make good use of in Colombia.

2. Bring Cash

You will find that credit cards aren’t widely used in Colombia, even in hotels and restaurants. They are used more often in the larger cities, but always be prepared in case cards are not accepted.

A nice hotel I stayed at in Manizales didn’t accept credit cards, and I was surprised. The good thing is that coming from many countries, the exchange rate is very favorable. You don’t need to bring a large amount to get by, and banks and ATMs are pretty easy to find.

3. Plan for Wide Swings in the Weather

You will find the weather is very diverse in Colombia if you are traveling to multiple places. Check out the weather averages before you leave and plan accordingly with what you pack.

Bogotá had lows in the 40s Fahrenheit, but Cartagena was extremely humid when I went with highs in the high 90s. I had to bring some tanks and a down jacket.

It takes some planning to be prepared for this, but you’ll be much happier if you bring what you need. Of course, you can always buy something while you’re traveling as well.

4. Visit Several Places in Colombia

I mentioned this earlier, but this is such an important tip. You can’t just go to Bogotá to really feel you’ve been to Colombia. It is so very different from Cartagena, or the small town of Salento. There is really no comparison.

Most of the Americans I met were in Cartagena , though there weren’t many of them. I did meet a family in Bogotá as well, but none during my other travels.

You will find the Colombian people overall to be very warm and friendly. There are definitely differences throughout the country in the people, the food, and what the land is like.

Do yourself a favor and really get to know and enjoy Colombia and all of its amazing variety. And it’s a good idea to get off the “Gringo path” to see what Colombia is all about. Of course, go to Cartagena, Bogota, and Medellin, but treat yourself to someone else as well!

5. Don’t Drink the Water

Anyone who does their research before going to Colombia will find this, but there’s actually a little more to it than simply drinking water. People have a tendency to forget when eating fruits and vegetables.

You can’t eat anything that was rinsed in water. The only way you can in order to ensure you won’t get sick is if it’s peeled or cooked. I have seriously never wanted to eat a salad as much as when I travel to countries where I can’t drink water!

Also, you can’t have ice. So, think about it when you get your favorite soda and ditch the ice. You’ll be happier for it.

6. Keep Mum About the Man from Medellín

Yes, you know the one I mean. Him . He’s much of the reason why Colombia got its bad rap to begin with, so the people overall aren’t fond of him and don’t want to talk about him. The Colombians are very proud and want to put it behind them. Let them.

You may get some strong reactions if you do mention him, so if you do so, do it quietly.

Do the country a favor and skip the tours dedicated to him. It’s just not a good practice to support this kind of tourism. Colombians want to forget him, so please let them.

7. Use the Trash Bin Next to the Toilet for Paper

In Colombia, people dispose of paper in the trash bin, and they don’t flush it. This is because most of the country has septic systems and old creaky pipes.

You don’t want to be that person who clogs the pipes. So, do the kind thing and toss your trash in the bin they kindly left for you.

8. Always Carry Hand Sanitizer and Toilet Paper

While we’re on the fun subject of toileting, here’s another good idea for you. You will often find bathrooms don’t have toilet paper, so it’s a good idea to have some with you. And when they do have paper, they may not have a seat on the toilet.

You will want to buy a lottery ticket if you find a bathroom with toilet paper, a seat, paper towels, or a working hand dryer.

9. Take Day Tours to Learn the Area

If you can find a reasonably-priced day tour (with no “gringo tax”), they are a great idea. You get an insider’s perspective about the area, and it’s nice to have help navigating, as public transportation in Colombia can be really challenging.

I took a day tour from Cartagena to the town of Palenque , a trip to the colorful Guatapé from Medellín , and went on a Zipaquira Salt Cathedral day trip from Bogotá .

All of these trips were amazing. Though I might have found a way to do it with public transportation, I would have missed out on all the wonderful history behind these areas. Just don’t get caught thinking you need to pay hundreds of dollars for these trips.

The most expensive one I took was $65 USD, and they were all amazing. Perhaps this is two Colombia travel tips in one- both suggesting taking day tours and being aware of the “gringo tax.”

10. Be Careful with Taxis and Uber

Update : it appears that as of 2021, Uber may be more prevalent and possibly even legal to use in Colombia. I encourage you to do some research before you plan to go to be sure, as I see some conflicting reports.

Uber is technically illegal in Colombia. I say “technically,” as you will find Uber operating in some of the cities by some industrious locals. However, I did hear about some harassment by taxi drivers and worse in Cartagena.

It’s best not to use Uber, both for safety and to support the local taxi drivers. They will appreciate it, and it’s a good practice to support local business owners when you can.

For taxis, make sure the meter is running or negotiate the cost of your trip up-front. This is similar to what you’ll see in many other countries and not unique to Colombia.

11. There are Many Dogs (and Cats) Roaming the Streets

They seem better cared for in some areas, though they can pull on your heartstrings. It’s a good idea not to approach them unless they approach you to avoid the risk of being bitten.

When we stopped for a quick break on the way back from Guatapé, I saw my bus driver pull a large bag of dog food out of the bus and feed some of the dogs. One used only three legs and was very friendly with people. They were clearly very well-fed.

12. You Will See a Strong Military Presence

You’ll see military troops almost everywhere you go, especially in the larger cities. It can be unnerving at first, but it’s actually a good thing.

It is generally not because of crime in an area, but it is used as a strong deterrent. This is part of how Colombia has “cleaned up its act.”

You don’t want to do anything to call attention to yourself, of course. But unless you’re doing something illegal, you generally won’t be bothered by them.

13. In-Country Flights are Cheap

Buses are very cheap and can be a crazy experience, but they can take a long time. If you’re short on time, give a flight a look. EasyFly and VivaColombia are two local airlines to look for if you’re interested in a flight. 

I booked a flight on EasyFly from Medellín to Armenia when I learned the 6 to 8-hour bus ride was taking more than 11 hours. I only had a few days in Salento and decided it was worth the cost to save time.

The plane was tiny, and my international-sized carry-on didn’t even fit in the overhead compartment, but it was no issue. The bags were all lined up next to the place when we got off.

14. Try the Almuerzo

Almuerzo means lunch in Spanish. But, what I’m referring to is the special lunch offering which is generally bandeja paisa.

You usually start with soup and then a massive dish of meat, white rice, arepa (cornmeal cake), plantain, red beans, a small salad, and a drink (remember, no ice, and don’t eat the salad unless you’re feeling very lucky)!

It’s huge and usually runs around 8k COP, which is around $2.50 USD. Seriously. And go hungry and plan not to eat dinner. It’s that huge.

15. Portions are Massive

While I’m on the subject of large meals, you will find most of the meals in Colombia are large. The bandeja paisa almuerzo is a good example (when it’s served at dinner time, they usually call it bandeja paisa, but it’s essentially the same thing).

I got ajiaco which is chicken soup. They literally filled my table with dishes, including a large bowl of chicken broth, chicken, Peruvian corn, three kinds of corn, and guascas (a local herb).

Then they brought dishes with arepa and white rice. And not to stop there, they brought more dishes with toppings, including capers, hot sauces, and crema.

I literally ate this one dinner meal for three meals. And it was amazing! (I highly recommend trying some of the soups, which are Colombian specialties).

16. Try Aguardiente

What is aguardiente? It’s a locally-made liquor of distilled sugar cane.

We were offered it by our host in Salento, Colombia, with aguapanela, a drink made of sugar cane boiled to bubbly goodness and cooked for a long time, with water added.

It is sweet but not overly so, and has the taste of a lightly sweetened iced tea. It’s sometimes mixed with some lemon juice, so that it tastes like an Arnold Palmer.

Tejo is a fun game in Colombia played by throwing rocks at packets filled with explosives. What doesn’t sound amazingly fun about that??

17. Don’t Expect Anything for Free

Colombians generally expect that work should be compensated, so don’t expect samples for free. And if someone offers you something, they will expect you to pay for it.

This happened to me in Medellín when a young man kept trying to give me a woven bracelet. I declined several times, in fact, but he kept trying and ended up tying it loosely on my wrist. Then, he promptly demanded money for it. I was a bit put off, of course.

This also happens when you see people dressing up for you to take a photo of. They want money for it. Even if you aim your phone in their general direction.

When you’re in Bogotá, avoid this creepy-looking dude at all costs. I didn’t even have my phone up when he heckled the @#$% out of me for money. I finally gave up and paid him, then snapped this picture. And yes, he actually tried to get money from me a second time.

18. Drink Lots of Fruit Juices (Jugos)

The fruit juices are crazy good, and I highly recommend them. A word of caution, though, as they do have water in them. If you get a shake with milk thinking you’re avoiding the water, you’re not, as they put ice in them.

I finally gave in and tried one, and I was hooked. Now, I have read that they are often made with purified water (agua filtrado). However, I’m not sure if this is true or not. I can only tell you that if you’re going to take a risk, this is where you want to take it.

Traditional flavors are good, but try something different. My favorite was lulo, which is the naranjillo fruit. It was described as a citrusy rhubarb, and that really nailed it. It’s sweet and tart and amazing.

Mora (blackberry) is great, and I loved maracuyá (sweet passionfruit) as well.

19. Try the Snacks Sold on Buses

Last food one, I promise! This was a bit weird to me, I’ll admit it. I took a couple of buses, and people got on and sold homemade snacks. Weird, right? Well, buy them. It’s quite common in Colombia.

I bought an empanada for the equivalent of 20 cents in USD, and it was filled with strawberry goodness. She had already hopped off by the time I tried it, or I might have been tempted to buy more! Yum.

20. Go to the Mercados

The mercados, or markets, are where the locals do their shopping. They don’t go to supermarkets, which are usually at a higher price. You can find the freshest ingredients in the mercados as much less than you can at the supermarkets.

You also get to people-watch with the locals, which is always fun. In addition to food, you can find some really nice handmade items like carvings and woven goods, so it’s a good idea to go to bring gifts back for the people who thought Colombia was unsafe to travel to.

21. Tipping Isn’t Required

If you’re coming from the US or even Europe, most people expect to tip for any service. Things are a bit different in Colombia, though.

Taxis don’t require tips, though you can certainly round up to make your life easier (and not have a pocket full of change). You can pay 10% at restaurants if you wish, though they are not expected.

Most restaurants pay their staff what would be considered a living wage. Tips aren’t factored into that compensation.

You should consider paying tips for tours and guides, and 10 – 15% is a great guideline for those. They aren’t generally required overall, but they are nice and appreciated, especially if you feel the service warrants one.

22. The Colombian People are Amazing

Most people that you meet are very kind and helpful, and it’s genuine. I met a sweet young woman in a crowded subway car in Medellín. I was exhausted from a long day and was pushing to go see just one more thing (or two) before calling it a day. But it was hot, and I was pretty overwhelmed.

She made eye contact with me, smiled, and said something. I was far too tired for my brain to comprehend, and though I understand a little bit of Spanish, I don’t really know enough to be able to have a conversation.

We got off at the same stop, and she said something that I believe was asking where I was going. My radar went up, but I told her to stop. She got all excited, took my arm, and led me to the right train.

We ended up getting off at the same stop again (which she probably told me, had I understood), and she led me out, then gave me a warm hug and waved goodbye. It was incredibly sweet and so appreciated.

23. Colombia is Generally Safe

Is Colombia safe ? It’s a very common question people ask before visiting.

You need to be aware and careful as you do anywhere. Would you go to New York City and walk around with a backpack on your back that was open? Of course not.

So, you take the same precautions. Keep an eye, or better yet, a hand, on your belongings at all times. This is one of the most important Colombia travel tips to consider when you visit.

Be aware and make sure you aren’t zoning out on your phone and not paying attention. Colombia is a poor country, and some people may take advantage of the opportunity if presented. Don’t do so, and you will be fine.

24. Keep an Open Mind

No matter what preconceived notions you have about Colombia, leave them in the airplane. Take an open mind with you when you land, and be open to all that Colombia offers you.

From the incredibly friendly and industrious people to the history and culture to the incredible food—Colombia offers a lot for those willing to embrace it.

25. Be Prepared to Fall Madly in Love with Colombia

Colombia truly is amazing. If you are open and give it a chance, you will get swept up in how amazing it is, and you may be surprised to find you don’t want to leave.

These Colombia travel tips will help you along the way to make your trip easier so you can see what an amazing country it is.

Like most of Latin America, Colombia is a place where it is a great idea to prepare before you leave. Review these Colombia travel tips to help you set your expectations.

They’ll also help you to know what you should and should not do when you’re there. Bring an open mind and have an amazing time.

Is Colombia Safe for Travel?

As you start to plan for your trip and talk to people, you may be a little surprised by people’s reactions. Most people will give you a blank stare as if they are trying to get into your brain to figure out why you would want to go there.

Or, they will say that it’s not safe due to the reputation it has. Some may come out directly and say, “ Is Colombia safe to travel ?”

Now, the history of Colombia is a bit sketchy, and there were significant issues from drug cartels in the 1980s and 1990s that were blasted all over the news.

Take a poor country with a very corrupt government with the perfect climate for growing a certain white powder, and before you know it, there is a significant and bloody problem. This is all true and is well documented.

What’s not true, however, is that is how the country is now. Is there still drug production? I’m sure there is. However, the drug cartels have ceased their large-scale production, and the country is much more peaceful now.

There is still crime, and it is still, sadly, a poor country, so things happen. But believe it or not, Hollywood doesn’t always get it right and doesn’t always tell the whole story. Shocking, right?

So, I encourage you to do your research, and you will find a beautiful country full of amazing people.

Throw out everything you think you know about Colombia and consider going with an open mind. I fell madly in love with this country, and I think you will, too. And no, this isn’t even one of the tips (though it should be)!

Planning Your Colombia Vacation

Colombia isn’t a very heavily touristed country overall, though tourism is increasing rapidly. You will find more tourists in certain areas, especially the bigger cities.

I saw mention of the “Gringo trail” on a blog I read before I went and found that very much to be true. There are certain areas the tourists or gringos, usually go to.

In general, this includes Cartagena , Medellín , Bogotá , Tayrona Park, and Salento (for the amazing Cocora Valley hike ). You’ll find a good number of tourists backpacking or traveling through Colombia in these areas.

When I went, this was where I found the most tourists. I do recommend those areas and loved the ones I went to. But, I encourage you to step off the “gringo trail” to visit other places if you can to get a really good feel for the country.

In addition, it’s a good idea to see at least 3-4 places when traveling in Colombia. Each place is so very different, and even the big cities are worlds apart from the small towns.

There are some amazing UNESCO World Heritage sites in Colombia recognized for their beauty, cultural aspects, or other significance. I went to the Coffee Triangle and to Cartagena .

25 of the Top Colombia Travel Tips

Don’t miss visiting Colombia. You’ll fall in love with everything from the incredible natural beauty to architecture, people, and food. It’s an amazing place you won’t get out of your head for years after your visit—trust me on that!

It’s a different type of country to visit, but you’ll be prepared with the top Colombia travel tips.

12 Things to Know Before Traveling to Colombia

Are you planning on visiting Colombia? Then you’ll probably find these travel tips for Colombia useful!

Colombia, a country with beautiful nature and generally very friendly people. But a country that at the same time many people, including my parents, think is dangerous and a place to avoid.

I was very excited though to explore this country and to be able to form my own opinions. I spent a month as a digital nomad in Medellin , Colombia’s second-largest city,  and several weeks traveling around the country.

Before I traveled to Colombia I wondered what the main things you should know about Colombia are.

To find out I spoke to many experienced travelers, local Colombians, and expats currently living in Colombia . That resulted in a lot of information about traveling in Colombia, safety in Colombia and other travel tips.

The most important advice I received, and several travel tips for Colombia I want to share with you here.

1. Don’t Worry Too Much About Safety but Follow a Few Rules

By Sue & Mike from 197travelstamps.com

“Murder, drug trafficking, kidnapping, and corruption – we’ve all heard some crazy stories about safety in Colombia. But, in contrast to popular belief, traveling through Colombia is actually not very dangerous.

The safety situation has greatly improved over the last few years.

You will be very unlikely to have any problems if you follow these basic safety rules :

• Don’t carry valuables like jewelry and cash in plain sight. If you have an expensive camera, consider using an unremarkable bag to carry it and check your surroundings before using it.  
• When you walk on the side of the road, don’t carry your bag on the side facing the street. Robberies from motorbike riders happen every now and then.
• Don’t use (unlicensed) street taxis. Download the Uber or Cabify app to order taxis. The drivers are registered and so is every single ride you take.
• Don’t walk around at night, use a taxi.

Once you get to Colombia, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the country and the kindness of the people.

You won’t have to worry too much about safety. If you still have doubts, ask the staff at your hotel or the Airbnb owner about safety tips – they will know best.”

2. The Temperature in Colombia Depends on Altitude Rather Than Time of Year

By Carlitos from Casa Hotel San Pedro

“Since Colombia is a tropical country, there are no seasons, so temperature depends on altitude rather than the time of the year.

For example, Bogotá has a pleasantly cool temperature during the day with chilly nights, while Cartagena has very hot and humid days and warm nights.

Any multi-city trip to Colombia requires a full range of clothes to prepare for all of these temperatures.”

3. Learn to Be Patient Like a Local

“The pace of life is different in Colombia.

If you are from a Western country, you may be used to the fast-running clockwork that is life in your country. Little things like a delayed train or a long queue at the supermarket are major annoyances.

Life is different in Colombia. Sometimes a little less organized, a little less on time, and sometimes just plain chaotic.

A delay of a bus or a flight of several hours without any information or updates from staff would cause major riots in many Western countries. In Colombia, nobody will get nervous over something like this and people will just continue talking and socializing until the situation straightens itself out.

If you find yourself in such a situation, keep cool and try to learn from the patience of the locals.”

4. Learn Some Spanish – a Few Words Go a Long Way

By James, an expat in Colombia, and Sue & Mike

Mike: “English isn’t widely spoken in Colombia.

Hotel staff usually do speak some English and they will be able to help you out with most things you may need if you don’t speak any Spanish. But I would recommend you learn a few words before you travel to Colombia, and bring a phrasebook.

The locals definitely appreciate any effort you make towards speaking their language and your travel experience will be so much more genuine if you can ask the old man on the bus next to you about his day.”

James: “If you already speak Spanish, look up Colombian slang on the internet. It doesn’t take long and helps a lot.”

5. Cocaine is a Taboo in Colombia

By Karin from GirlAstray.com

“When Colombians travel abroad they inevitably face questions and jokes about cocaine. Sometimes, people even directly ask them for drugs.

However, cocaine is a big taboo in Colombian society as the conflict it initiated has taken an immense toll on the people and many families lost their loved ones.

In Bogota, although drugs are easy to find for those who are looking for them, the area of the “L” street where illegal substances and services are sold is dangerous and full of crime.

When traveling to Colombia, avoid joking about drugs or suggesting that locals use cocaine regularly as it is very insulting. Besides, most of the white powder is exported to the USA and Europe anyway.

It goes without saying that you won’t make a great impression if you start a discussion about Pablo Escobar armed with only what you learned from the Narcos series either!

Avoiding judgmental comments and perhaps this topic altogether is usually the safest way to avoid hurting someone’s pride and feelings.”

6. Communication Works Differently in Colombia

By Rebecca and Michele, expats living in Colombia, and Carlitos, a Colombian

Rebecca: “I find that language tends to be more formal here.

I tend to be really short in my communication. I’ll text someone exactly what’s on my mind. For example, “So today we are really going to need XYZ and do ABC.”

I will get back, “Buenos Días, como estás? Como estás tu familia?” Tu perrito? Tús hijos? ( “Good morning, how are you? How is your family? Your dog? Your kids?” ). You can’t skip the greeting and formality for the sake of efficiency and brevity. Even in short face-to-face encounters.”

Michele: “Yes, this drives me crazy. My professors at the university told me that they knew I was a gringa ( foreigner ) before even meeting me based on the short, to the point, almost cold, emails I would send them asking some questions.”

Carlitos:  Yes, that’s Colombia. Also don’t just say “hola” (“ hello” ). “Muy buenas tardes, señora” (“ a very good afternoon, madam” ) is much more the local custom.”

7. Mañana Does Not Mean Tomorrow

By Susan and Luis, expats living in Colombia

Susan: “Mañana does not mean tomorrow here… it’s more like some time in the future.”

Luis: “And “ahora” ( “now” ) means sometime in the next hours. If you want something to be done right now, you have to use “ya” ( “already” ).

This difference and the excessive politeness drives me crazy as a Spaniard with a more direct Spanish language.”

8. Transportation and Money in Colombia

By Rick and Beth, expats in Colombia

Rick: “Taxis and buses go anywhere in the country and are very inexpensive. However, Palomino, on the Caribbean coast, does not have any taxis, nor ATMs.

Long-distance buses are comfortable, have air conditioning and sometimes even wifi.

Latam and Wingo airlines are very inexpensive compared to other airlines. For example, a one-way flight from Bogota to Barranquilla may cost as little as US$ 35.  Viva Colombia is another low-cost airline worth checking out.

ATMs are in English and Spanish and the surcharge is about equal to US$ 3.00.”

Beth: “Bring a debit card to get cash, and be sure to let your bank know where you will be.

Using ATMs is a much better option than trying to exchange money.”

9. Tipping in Colombia

By Rebecca and Linnea, expats in Colombia

Rebecca: “In most restaurants I am familiar with in Bogota, the tip is included in the bill (normally 10%). That tip is spread amongst all the staff.

So if you want to give something extra to just your waiter, which seems to be more optional, that needs to be separate.”

Linnea: “Many of the smaller more typical Colombian places will neither ask nor expect a tip usually.

With that being said, of course, one should tip something if the service was good. But it’s not mandatory, like in some other countries.”

10. Wear Sunscreen

By David, an expat in Colombia

“Use sunscreen!!! Because Colombia is located close to the equator the sun is strong.

Even in a place like Bogota where the air is cool, the sun is incredibly intense.”

11. Keep Your Cool in Colombia

By Steven and Shantideva, living in Colombia

Steven: “Like many other cultures throughout the world, Colombians do not like public displays of anger, frustration, or drama. It is considered very unattractive and unwanted here.  

If a gringo ( foreigner ) displays any loss of composure he/she will likely be tuned out, ignored as low class, or generally be dismissed.

In my area, they will look at you as if you are a crazy person or simply ignore you as if you are literally not there at all.”

Shantideva: “In Barranquilla you’ll have 2 kinds of reactions if you show anger in public:

• You’ll be totally ignored.
• You’ll be punched in the face by a local who thought your anger was directed at him.”

12. Enjoy the Beauty of Colombia

By Mary and Janwillem, living in Colombia

Mary: “Colombia is music, salsa, rumba, everywhere. It doesn’t matter what time, for what reason or how many people there are, the people always sing and dance.

There is always a reason to move your hips. And you either join in or you miss out.

Colombia is the country where all taxi drivers seem to be listening to Olímpica Estéreo ( radio station ) which makes me feel like I live in the center of the Caribbean.”

Janwillem: “Try to visit some villages, the beauty of this country is not in the cities at all. it is outside. Come and visit Tamesis, where I choose to live after 11 years in Colombia.”

Colombia has a lot to offer with its incredible diversity in landscapes and cultures.

From historical cities to cute little towns. Lush jungle, snow-capped volcanoes, rocky deserts, endless plains, gorgeous beaches, coffee and cocoa plantations and alpine lakes.

I hope you found this list of things to know about Colombia useful. And if you are traveling to Colombia soon, enjoy exploring this beautiful country!

Very well written, thanks for the tips! Indeed, Colombia has come a long way since the time of the roaring drug trade, and is today one of the most enjoyable countries in South America.However, there are tourist-targeting scammers and petty crime to be wary of.

Do be wary of the gold / emerald shop price scam, fake towel charge, airport unofficial taxi robbery, carjacking, drug set-up, fraudulent money changers, unsolicited tours, hostel attacks and many more!

Leticia Colombia Travel Guide

Leticia, Colombia guide: Access, sights, activities, stays, costs

Your ticket to the Amazon adventure you’ve always dreamed of is here! Imagine a place where the jungle’s heartbeat echoes in your ears, a multicultural crossroads where Colombia, Brazil, and Peru meet, and a city teeming with flora and fauna you won’t find anywhere else. Welcome to Leticia , the hidden gem in the heart of the Amazon. In this guide, we’ll dive into everything from travel tips to the local secrets that make Leticia so special. Ready for the journey of a lifetime? Let’s go!

WHY LETICIA?

Gateway to the amazon: more than just a city.

Ever thought about what it would be like to step into the world’s largest tropical rainforest? Leticia serves as your personal gateway to the Amazon. But don’t mistake it for just a launching pad; the city itself is a part of the adventure. Bursting with vibrant culture, colorful markets, and a river that tells a thousand tales, Leticia is more than a prelude—it’s a highlight.

So, what makes Leticia so perfect for an Amazon adventure? Is it the direct access to the heart of the jungle? Or perhaps the unique cultural tapestry that’s spun across its streets? Well, it’s all that and more.

A Mix of Cultures: Colombia Meets Brazil and Peru

Ever been to three countries in one day? In Leticia, it’s as simple as taking a stroll. This fascinating border town is where Colombia shakes hands with Brazil and Peru , resulting in a culture cocktail that’s as unique as it is captivating. Tap your feet to the rhythm of Colombian cumbia one moment, and find yourself swaying to Brazilian samba the next.

Did you know that there are barely two hundred contacted communities in the Amazon? It is estimated that in total it can reach a thousand indigenous communities.

Nature’s Marvel: Flora and Fauna You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

How many places can you name where pink dolphins play in river waters and parrots flock to town squares? Leticia is a living, breathing nature documentary, offering you a front-row seat.

Fancy meeting some of the Amazon’s estimated 390 billion individual trees? Or how about the 2,200 species of fish that call the Amazon River home?  These aren’t just numbers; they’re a testament to the ecological wonder that is Leticia .

How to get to Leticia Colombia

By air: the quickest way to dive into the amazon.

If you’re eager to jump straight into the action, flying is your best bet. Leticia’s airport, Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International, is well-connected with major Colombian cities like Bogota. The flight is roughly two hours, and you’ll be greeted by the lush green canopy of the Amazon as you descend—talk about making an entrance!

What should you expect in terms of costs? Airlines like Avianca and LATAM offer flights that can range from $100 to $300 depending on when you book. But hey, can you really put a price on a life-changing adventure?

When you fly over the Amazon, you will see how impressively large it is, since for more than half an hour you’ll only see jungle and more jungle. It’s a treasure we can’t afford to lose, as is happening in other places on earth.

By Boat: A More Scenic, Albeit Slower, Option

For those who love the journey as much as the destination, consider arriving by boat. Picture this: gliding along the Amazon River, witnessing the transition from civilization to untamed wilderness. It’s a multi-day affair, but the scenic beauty and the anticipation build-up are worth every moment.

Ever wondered how many days it takes to traverse the Amazon River? Well, it’s a whopping 4,000 miles from start to finish, and the portion leading to Leticia offers some of the most stunning sights.

Visa Requirements: What You Need Before You Land

Before you pack your bags and mark your calendar, let’s talk visas. For most travelers, a tourist visa on arrival should suffice, especially if you’re from countries like the United States, Canada, or European Union nations. However, always double-check the latest requirements because, let’s be real, nobody wants a bureaucratic hiccup to dampen their Amazon dreams.

Best time TO VISIT Leticia

Best time of the year: when leticia is at its finest.

So when should you visit this Amazonian paradise? Most would recommend between June and October when the weather is milder and the rain less frequent. It’s the perfect setting for both jungle treks and city explorations.

In these months, the best are September and October, since you will be almost alone. The months of June, July and August, that area gets quite crowded. In September and october the weather is hot during the day, and very humid. But at night there are always storms that cool down the atmosphere quite a bit.

Weather Considerations: Rain, Heat, and the Amazonian Climate

Picture steamy days and cooler nights—that’s Leticia for you. It’s the Amazon, so yes, expect some rain, but don’t let that deter you. Rain or shine, the city has a way of entrancing you.

Thinking about what to pack? Light, breathable clothes are your best friends here. And don’t forget your rain gear. You’ll thank yourself later.

Local Events and Festivals: Timing Your Visit for Some Local Fun

Fancy catching the Amazon Carnival or the Festival of the Jungle? Time your visit right and you could be part of Leticia’s most vibrant events. These aren’t just festivals; they’re an explosion of culture, color, and Amazonian spirit.

ACCOMMODATION

Hotels vs hostels: what’s your style.

From luxury hotels to backpacker hostels, Leticia has a place for every budget and style. Are you the kind who loves to come back to a plush bed and room service, or do you prefer the community vibe of a hostel?

Eco-Lodges: The Sustainable Choice

If you’re all about that eco-friendly life, Leticia has got you covered too. Eco-lodges offer the best of both worlds—comfort and sustainability. Plus, they’re usually tucked away in serene locations that let you wake up to the sounds of the Amazon.

Local Guesthouses: Authenticity at its Best

For a truly local experience, consider staying at a guesthouse. It’s the closest you can get to living like a local, complete with home-cooked meals and insider tips on the best-hidden spots in town.

Alright, we’ve covered quite a bit, haven’t we? And we’re just getting started! What’s next on the list, you ask? Keep reading to find out.

Things to do in Leticia

Okay, let’s get the obvious out of the way first. Leticia is teeming with attractions that are, quite simply, a must for any Amazon explorer.

Santander Park

Have you heard of  Parque Santander ? It’s the city’s main square, and it’s more like a bird sanctuary! Around 5 PM every day, the park fills with parrots returning to roost. It’s an Instagram moment waiting to happen.

Cross the border to Brazil

And then there’s  Tabatinga , the Brazilian border town. Just a short walk from Leticia, it’s like stepping into another world. Really, how many cities let you experience a whole new country without even needing a passport?

Ethnographic Museum The Amazonian Man

If you like museums, you can take a walk around this corner of Leticia where you will find different tools and utensils used by the indigenous people who live in the Amazon. Obviously, the indigenous communities contacted, resemble their life quite a lot to the western life, but inside the Amazon jungle.

Hidden Gems: Leticia Beyond the Guidebooks

But what about the spots that don’t make it to every travel blog? Like the  Tres Fronteras  point, where Colombia, Brazil, and Peru converge. It’s a quieter experience compared to the touristy attractions, but the view of the Amazon River meeting its tributaries is nothing short of magical.

Do you fancy a walk in the forest at midnight? Don’t worry; it’s safer than it sounds! The  Orellana Park  offers night walks where you can spot nocturnal animals and get a literal feel of the jungle under the moonlight. Would you dare?

Walking vs Biking: The Pros and Cons

So, should you explore Leticia on foot or by bike? Walking is a fantastic way to soak in the city’s ambience, but it can get exhausting, especially in the humid climate. Biking, on the other hand, lets you cover more ground. But remember, you’re not in a race! Sometimes, the best experiences come when you slow down and let the city reveal itself to you.

Jungle tours near Leticia : into the wild & Amazon Adventures

Day trips: short but sweet amazon experiences.

If you’re short on time or new to the jungle life, day trips are your best bet. Popular options include boat trips to  Monkey Island  (yes, it’s as cool as it sounds) or kayaking adventures along the  Yahuarcaca Lakes .

Lotus Flower Nature Reserve

Do you want to see the world’s largest lotus flower? If so, you can take a canoe ride through this reserve. There are also trails for you to enjoy nature more.

Multi-Day Amazon Tours: Dive Deep Into the Jungle

For the more adventurous souls, multi-day tours offer a more immersive Amazon experience. Picture spending the night in a jungle lodge, waking up to the call of exotic birds, and learning survival skills from indigenous guides. Sounds like a page from an adventure novel, doesn’t it?

Zacambu is an accessible Amazon destination via a two-hour boat ride from Leticia along the Yavari tributary. The lodging consists of simple cabins elevated on wooden stilts to account for seasonal flooding. Activities in and around Zacambu are diverse, including excursions to spot pink dolphins in the Yavari River.

Zacambu provides a rich cultural experience, with indigenous guides sharing stories and insights into local traditions, religions, and culture. Another highlight is a beach referred to as Copacabana, located in Brazilian territory, where visitors can swim in waters also inhabited by piranhas. Contrary to popular belief, piranhas pose no threat unless one has open wounds.

Evening activities include canoe trips for crocodile spotting, where the eyes of these creatures can often be seen peering out of the water. For those interested in fishing, piranha fishing is offered, with the catch often serving as the evening meal.

Amazon Rainforest Trek to Gamboa

The trek through the Amazon rainforest leads to Gamboa, an indigenous community, and offers a four-hour journey through untouched wilderness. There’s no formal path; guides navigate through the foliage to reach the destination. Along the way, trekkers encounter diverse wildlife like giant macaws, howler monkeys, and towering ceiba trees.

Gamboa is situated next to the Gamboa River, a tributary of the Amazon, in Peru. The community is known for its indigenous farming areas, referred to as chagras. Upon arrival, visitors can explore the community, participate in activities like additional treks to spot sloths, and learn about local life.

The trek also includes a night spent in the rainforest, sleeping in hammocks covered with mosquito nets. The experience is enhanced by the natural sounds of the jungle and stories from the guides about indigenous culture. The trek aims to respect local wildlife, avoiding any activities that would disturb animals in their natural habitat.

Puerto Nariño

Puerto Nariño offers a different yet equally intriguing Amazon experience, focusing on closer interactions with nature and indigenous communities. This town is situated approximately 70 kilometers from Leticia and is accessible only by boat. Multiple boat departures are available from Leticia daily, with each journey taking around two hours. The last boat to Puerto Nariño departs at 14:00 pm.

Boat schedules are restricted due to safety considerations, as night sailing is not permitted. Among the activities available from Puerto Nariño are excursions for spotting pink dolphins in Tarapoto Lake, which can also be seen on the Peruvian side of the Amazon.

WHAT TO PACK TO TRAVEL TO THE AMAZON AND LETICIA

Street Food: Quick Bites with Amazonian Flair

If you’re on the go, street food stalls offer quick bites like  tacacho , a dish made of mashed plantains and pork. It’s like the Amazon’s answer to fast food but way healthier and more delicious.

Trump Has Been Convicted. Here’s What Happens Next.

Donald J. Trump has promised to appeal, but he may face limits on his ability to travel and to vote as he campaigns for the White House.

• Share full article

By Jesse McKinley and Maggie Astor

• May 30, 2024

The conviction of former President Donald J. Trump on Thursday is just the latest step in his legal odyssey in New York’s court system. The judge, Juan M. Merchan, set Mr. Trump’s sentencing for July 11, at which point he could be sentenced to as much as four years behind bars, or to probation.

It won’t stop him from running for president, though: There is no legal prohibition on felons doing that . No constitutional provision would stop him even from serving as president from a prison cell, though in practice that would trigger a crisis that courts would almost certainly have to resolve.

His ability to vote — for himself, presumably — depends on whether he is sentenced to prison. Florida, where he is registered, requires felons convicted there to complete their full sentence, including parole or probation, before regaining voting rights. But when Floridians are convicted in another state, Florida defers to the laws of that state, and New York disenfranchises felons only while they are in prison.

The Trump Manhattan Criminal Verdict, Count By Count

Former President Donald J. Trump faced 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, related to the reimbursement of hush money paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels in order to cover up a sex scandal around the 2016 presidential election.

“Because Florida recognizes voting rights restoration in the state of conviction, and because New York’s law states that those with a felony conviction do not lose their right to vote unless they are incarcerated during the election, then Trump will not lose his right to vote in this case unless he is in prison on Election Day,” said Blair Bowie, a lawyer at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit watchdog group.

Mr. Trump will almost certainly appeal his conviction, after months of criticizing the case and attacking the Manhattan district attorney, who brought it, and Justice Merchan, who presided over his trial.

Long before that appeal is heard, however, Mr. Trump will be enmeshed in the gears of the criminal justice system.

A pre-sentencing report makes recommendations based on the defendant’s criminal record — Mr. Trump had none before this case — as well as his personal history and the crime itself. The former president was found guilty of falsifying business records in relation to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, a porn star who says she had a brief sexual tryst with Mr. Trump in 2006, in order to buy her silence.

At the pre-sentence interview, a psychologist or social worker working for the probation department may also talk to Mr. Trump, during which time the defendant can “try to make a good impression and explain why he or she deserves a lighter punishment,” according to the New York State Unified Court System.

The pre-sentencing report can also include submissions from the defense, and may describe whether “the defendant is in a counseling program or has a steady job.”

In Mr. Trump’s case, of course, he is applying — as it were — for a steady job as president of the United States, a campaign that may be complicated by his new status as a felon. Mr. Trump will likely be required to regularly report to a probation officer, and rules on travel could be imposed.

Mr. Trump was convicted of 34 Class E felonies, New York’s lowest level , each of which carry a potential penalty of up to four years in prison. Probation or home confinement are other possibilities that Justice Merchan can consider.

That said, Justice Merchan has indicated in the past that he takes white-collar crime seriously . If he did impose prison time, he would likely impose the punishment concurrently, meaning that Mr. Trump would serve time on each of the counts he was convicted of simultaneously.

If Mr. Trump were instead sentenced to probation, he could still be jailed if he were later found to have committed additional crimes. Mr. Trump, 77, currently faces three other criminal cases: two federal, dealing with his handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election , and a state case in Georgia that concerns election interference.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers can file a notice of appeal after sentencing, scheduled for July 11 at 10 a.m. And the judge could stay any punishment during an appeal, something that could delay punishment beyond Election Day.

The proceedings will continue even if he wins: Because it’s a state case, not federal, Mr. Trump would have no power as president to pardon himself .

Bark Air, a new airline for dogs, set to take its first flight

Updated on: May 23, 2024 / 10:57 AM EDT / MoneyWatch

Bark Air, a new airline that puts dogs before their human companions, will take its first flight Thursday. Its sold-out maiden voyage will depart New York for Los Angeles at 4:00 p.m. EST. 

Bark, a pet company founded in 2011 that sells dog food and other products, announced the new aviation experience for canines in April. It's the second air travel service to market itself as catering to pets before human passengers, recognizing how stressful and uncomfortable commercial air travel can be for animals . United Kingdom-based public charter operator K9 jets also lets passengers' pets travel next to them in the aircraft cabin, versus in crates in commercial aircraft cargo holds.

"We are excited to take the insights we've learned over the years to create an experience that is truly dog-first, which is drastically different from just accepting dogs – from the ground to the skies," Bark co-founder and CEO Matt Meeker said in April. "We believe this initiative will elevate awareness of our brand's mission and values, introduce more dog lovers to the Bark family, and help enrich the lives of dogs and their people around the world." 

The first flight from New York to Los Angeles Thursday is sold out, according to Bark's booking website. The company said it launched the air travel experience to make long-distance travel more comfortable for dogs that don't fit under the seats in front of passengers on commercial aircraft. 

"Too often, dogs are denied travel, confined to a duffle bag, or endure the stress of flying in cargo," the company said in announcing the flights in April.

Bark Air says it will offer "white paw service" to its canine customers — who'll even get to socialize with other dogs in what the company calls a "dog-centric" cabin configuration. Like first-class human passengers, dogs on board will be offered treats, noise-canceling ear muffs, a beverage of their choice and other surprises, the company said. 

Initially, the service will fly between the New York City metro area and Los Angeles, as well as from New York to London. More routes will be added soon, the company said. 

Bark Air will operate as a public charter service, flying on spacious Gulfstream G5 jets. It does not own or operate any aircraft. Each dog ticket comes with a pass for one human. Families may also purchase additional passes. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted aboard. There are no size or breed restrictions for dogs. 

The service doesn't come cheap. A one-way flight from New York to Los Angeles in June costs $6,000 for one dog and one human. A New York to London ticket costs $8,000. 

Meeker acknowledged the service's high cost in a May letter, but said he expects prices to come down as demand climbs.

"This is cost-prohibitive for most families, but less expensive than most options today. And this is also how most innovative products and services began," he said. "Televisions, telephones, VCRs and DVD players, to automobiles, train and boat travel, and, yes, even human air travel — all of these started with very high prices until demand was proven and the costs could be brought lower by serving the masses."

Donald Trump is convicted of a felony. Here's how that affects the 2024 presidential race

Having been convicted of 34 felonies, Donald Trump cannot own a gun, hold public office or even vote in many states

NEW YORK -- Having been convicted of 34 felonies, Donald Trump cannot own a gun, hold public office or even vote in many states.

But in 158 days, voters across America will decide whether he will return to the White House to serve another four years as the nation's president.

Trump's conviction in his New York hush money trial on Thursday is a stunning development in an already unorthodox presidential election with profound implications for the justice system and perhaps U.S. democracy itself.

But in a deeply divided America, it's unclear whether Trump's status as someone with a felony conviction will have any impact at all on the 2024 election. Trump remains in a competitive position against President Joe Biden this fall, even as the Republican former president now faces the prospect of a prison sentence in the run-up to the November election.

In the short term at least, there were immediate signs that the unanimous guilty verdict was helping to unify the Republican Party’s disparate factions as GOP officials in Congress and in state capitals across the country rallied behind their presumptive presidential nominee, while his campaign expected to benefit from a flood of new fundraising dollars.

Standing outside the courtroom, Trump described the verdict as the result of a “rigged, disgraceful trial.”

“The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people," Trump said, referring to Election Day. “This is long from over.”

The immediate reaction from elected Democrats was muted by comparison, although the Biden campaign issued a fundraising appeal within minutes of the verdict suggesting that the fundamentals of the election had not changed.

“We're THRILLED that justice has finally been served,” the campaign wrote. “But this convicted criminal can STILL win back the presidency this fall without a huge surge in Democratic support.”

There has been some polling conducted on the impact of a guilty verdict, although such hypothetical scenarios are notoriously difficult to predict.

A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that only 4% of Trump’s supporters said they would withdraw their support if he’s convicted of a felony, though an additional 16% said they would reconsider it.

On the eve of the verdict, the Trump campaign released a memo from its polling team suggesting that the impact of the trial is “already baked into the race in target states.”

Trump campaign advisers argued the case would help them motivate their core supporters. So many donations came into WinRed, the platform the campaign uses for fundraising, that it crashed. Aides quickly worked to set up a backup platform to collect money pouring in.

Trump headed Thursday night to a fundraising event scheduled before the verdict, according to a person familiar with his plans who was not authorized to speak publicly.

His two most senior campaign advisers, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, were not with him in New York, but in Palm Beach, Florida, where the campaign is headquartered.

And while it may take days or weeks to know for sure, Trump's critics in both parties generally agreed that there may not be much political fallout, although some were hopeful that the convictions would have at least a marginal impact in what will likely be a close election.

Sarah Longwell, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, who conducts regular focus groups, suggested the guilty verdict may help Biden on the margins by pushing so-called “double haters” — a term used to describe voters who dislike Trump and Biden — away from Trump.

But more than anything, she suggested that voters simply haven't been following the trial very closely.

“The best thing about the trial ending is that it ended," Longwell said, describing the courtroom proceeding as a distraction from more serious issues in the campaign. “There will now be an opportunity to focus the narrative on who Trump is and what a second Trump term would look like.”

Republican pollster Neil Newhouse predicted that the trial may ultimately have little impact in a lightning-fast news environment with several months before early polls open.

“Voters have short memories and even shorter attention spans,” Newhouse said. “Just as the former president’s two impeachments have done little to dim Trump’s support, this guilty verdict may be overshadowed in three weeks by the first presidential debate.”

The judge set sentencing for July 11, just four days before the scheduled start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Each of the falsifying business records charges carries up to four years behind bars, though prosecutors have not said whether they intend to seek imprisonment. Nor is it clear whether the judge — who earlier in the trial warned of jail time for gag order violations — would impose that punishment even if asked.

Trump will be able to vote in Florida, where he established residency in 2019, if he is not in prison on Election Day.

And imprisonment would not bar Trump from continuing his pursuit of the White House.

Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who was with the former president in court this week and also serves as co-chair of the Republican National Committee, said in a Fox News Channel interview before the verdict that Trump would still try to campaign for the presidency if convicted.

If Trump is given a sentence of home confinement, she said, “We will have him doing virtual rallies and campaign events if that is the case. And we’ll have to play the hand that we’re dealt."

There are no campaign rallies on the calendar for now, though Trump is expected to hold fundraisers next week.

Biden himself has yet to weigh in.

He was spending the night at his family’s beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after marking the anniversary of his son Beau’s death earlier in the day at church.

Texas voter Steven Guarner, a 24-year-old nurse, said he’s undecided on who he'll vote for in the upcoming election.

Guarner, an independent, said the verdict will be a deciding factor for him once he studies the details of the trial. He didn't think it would sway the many voters who are already decided on the Biden-Trump rematch, however.

“I think his base is the type that might not care much or might agree with him about the court system,” Guarner said of Trump.

Indeed, Republican officials from Florida to Wisconsin to Arkansas and Illinois condemned the verdict as a miscarriage of justice by what they described as a politically motivated prosecutor and blue-state jury.

Brian Schimming, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s executive committee, called the case against Trump a “sham” and a “national embarrassment.”

“There was no justice in New York today,” Schimming charged.

And Michael Perez Ruiz, a 47-year-old who was ordering food shortly after the verdict at Miami's Versailles restaurant, an icon of the city's GOP-leaning Cuban American community, said he would continue to stand by Trump.

“I would vote for him 20 times,” Perez Ruiz said.
