Cartagena, Colombia: During Cartagena’s Independence Day celebrations, the Embassy reminds all U.S. citizens to maintain a high level of security awareness while visiting the city. A significant increase in petty theft is expected, along with the potential for unsanctioned checkpoints and confrontations for money and/or valuables. Expect severe traffic delays due to numerous road closures, diversions, and large crowds. The Embassy recommends U.S. citizens avoid areas east of Centro Comercial Caribe Plaza. If transiting these neighborhoods is necessary, use extra caution, as residents often establish illegal roadblocks to solicit money from pedestrians and motorists. When possible, remain on main roads only, avoid large crowds, and avoid confrontations with festival participants. More at co.usembassy.gov/security-al…
