Colombia: Yellow Fever Update

Safety

There has been an increase in Yellow Fever cases in Colombia. Vaccinations are not advised for most traveler's but may be considered for those with prolonged exposure or difficulty avoiding mosquito bites. Currently there is no advice to get a yellow fever vaccine to travel on our trips.

Key Considerations

Vaccination: Not recommended for cities like Barranquilla, Cali, Cartagena, Medellín, and Bogotá, or areas above 2,300m and San Andrés y Providencia.

Mosquito Protection: Wear long trousers and sleeves at sunrise and sunset, and use strong mosquito repellant.

We will continue to monitor the situation for any updates and advise travelers to stay flexible and follow local advisories.
