RE: How to travel to Colombia and not make stupid tourist mistakes

So this is only tangentially connected to the topic but you reminded me of something I've been wondering for quite a bit. How active is the FARC these days? Last I'd come across news it seemed the government wasn't keeping its end of the bargain and some were starting to take up arms again.
Most of what I know of Columbia comes from studying groups like FARC, ELN, and AUC, this was a nice (and rather different) perspective on the country. Gonna have to remember the papaya doctrine!

They are not gone, but not as active as some other groups. Mostly this activity is relegated to certain regions. There seems to be a lot of paramilitary activity still, again in some remote regions.
Gotcha, good to know. Thanks!
