Canada Issues Travel Advisory for Colombia

Canada has issued a travel warning for its citizens considering travel to Colombia due to increasing security concerns, particularly in Medellin and other areas.

This advisory highlights the risks in conflict zones with a significant presence of armed groups.

The Canadian government's official travel site emphasized the need for heightened security caution in the Andean nation, pointing out the high rates of crime and sexual exploitation of minors, especially in Medellin, Antioquia province.

This warning follows the recent death of Salo Lloyd, a 60-year-old Canadian citizen, who was found dead in Medellin with a head injury on February 12.

The incident is currently under investigation.
