The last thing Colombia needs is more blacks
Sending you the love that you urgently need.
@@PassportHeavy don't need nothing from you, just an explanation why 6% of the American population commits over 60% of all violent crimes
@@PassportHeavy You just gave this clown more Power by pinning this.
@@PassportHeavy You can tell this guy doesn't travel. Colombia has nothing but thousands of europeans there. They are everywhere. LOL Pay this lame no mind. Everyone wants to scape goat Blacks. It's the weakest thought.
Seems like someone’s insecure about black men smashing the Columbian baddies! 😂
I have lived in Colombia over 20 years. I love it. Colombia is an amazing country.
Drugging men is well known in Medellin. I have friends who have been drugged and these friends actually live there. I would just tell the men to stay out off the websites and meet women in person away from the tourist traps. Other than Medellin is safer than most cities in the US>. Always be on your guard and don’t try to be a lone wolf. PassportHeavy is not in touch with the single, average guy who also is looking to meet someone. I love PassportHeavy for for tourist destinations only, but day-to-day life is completely different than what PassportHeavy can show.
Hello and thank you for such an amazing video. Loved it.
I’m Colombian, living in the United States, married to an American for over 20 years who I met in Barranquilla. And all I can say is… I truly enjoyed your video. I haven’t actually been to all the places you have visited, but I’m really wanting to go and check them out myself. I showed your video to my husband and we started reminiscing on the times we went to el carnaval de Barranquilla, we were dating back then. Thank you for the kind words about our country and our culture. I’ve always wanted to show people what a beautiful country Colombia is regardless it’s challenges. You put a smile in my heart. I’ll keep following you since I have found your videos to be so detailed. Thanks again to you, the crew and friends.
No way! I love San Andres also. Been there twice. So many memories and special people I've met. Such a special place...and in my heart. One day I would like to sail there.
Thank you Jubril and PassportHeavy for the experience and video. :)
BECAUSE OF YOUR TEAM i got ny passport 6 years ago & haven't stopped traveling since. THANK YOU
I loved all of it, like every minute! Abso-freakin-lutely fantastic coverage & production! Looking forward to more specials like this.
Overall good representation of my adopted home country of Colombia. This (Southern California (Los Angeles) surfer guy's first visit and extended 4 month stay was in Bogota in 1990, so 34 years of traveling to every city in Colombia, every pueblo/town, sailing all the northern Colombian islands and especially love the Caribbean coast.........and now making Medellin my home for the past 10 years.............I travel almost non-stop in Colombia and Ecuador......always starting/ending my road trips in my car from my home in Medellin.
I am a blessed man. Everyday is magic for me! Look at what you experienced for 20 days and THIS is my life here, everyday, it's incredible.
BTW - You have not even tapped 1% of the beauty of Colombia, the nature, the magical pueblos, the coffee region, the extreme sports regions, the hiking to Lost Cities, not even 1%.
Thank you Donald, appreciate the feedback. And you’re right, we barely touched the surface, I wish our budget could have taken our production team further!
What a special country! 🇨🇴
wow man Donald I am convinced Colombia is calling my name. As long as I have a decent internet connection, I can trade the futures market over there too and make this leap of faith happen. Plus, I would not mind investing into the right business over there as a copartner/owner for extra residual income. I am blown away by this video your comment wow 31 years old been in all over Florida my whole life. You can guess the rest. I gotta make this dream come true. One love Donald One love Passport Heavy.
I moved to Bogota' from Baltimore in 2021. I enjoy my Colombian life!
Bogota is cold AF and wet.
@@travelingjohn69 He didnt move there for the weather...
that was shitty move to bogota. you have really bad taste
he moved there for cheap women in santa fe. hope this helps. @@travelingjohn69
After living in Colombia for 15 years (Medellin and many farms) hurts my head when people call this place dangerous. It's a great culture with amazing people.
It's probably because you understand what to do and not to do having to live there for that long. The tourists who comes in with no idea will get punished for it. Do you put yourself in these situations as these tourists do? I don't think so, why? because it'll get you killed.
But the fact of the matter it is dangerous
I visited Colombia for our TV show and that's where I realized, this is such a nice country. With its vibrant cities, warm hospitality, and a transformation that's rivaling a telenovela plot twist, Colombia is rewriting its story faster than you can say "cliché headlines." You can just put your fears to rest because this place is a fiesta, not a crime scene.
hey travelbydart..no we are not a bot..We are building the "Tiny HOuse Kingdom" and we invite you to come to Tolu, Colombia..nly 5 minutes from beach and airport
Yes, the rich areas. Beverly Hills and Miami Beach are real safe too.
Are you retarded
Another masterpiece with no sugar coating... keep killing it
Lol the whole thing is sugar coated vlogger nonsense. Go to the rich tourist areas and say this represents the country.
Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm Canadian, I am traveling to medellin in January, and this has highlighted some amazing places I'll be looking into.
You 1st introduced me to colombia in 2013. I decided to take a trip to santa marta and stay in the dreamer hostel. Since then iv never looked back.
As a Colombian, all I can say is that they're watching you the minute you step out onto the taxi floor. From the taxi to the Uber driver, they're texting your destination location and appearance.
Even the guy selling trinkets on the streets seems friendly, they're reporting back to goons that you're ripe for a good robbing.
That 25 year old apartment owner you airBNB'd for the next few weeks is reporting back to the goon squad
Don't be deceived y'all
They'll catch you if they want to
smashing COLOMBIAN you are!! Do you have a complex?
@@luicastillo8630 Seems like you have a complex. A complex of digging your head in the sand.
@@skillfuldabest Nah! I know Colombia is no bed of roses but most Colombians have grown up listening to fear sermons since childhood and by the time they are adults can't talk about anything else but their fears. The second part is that Mexico and Brazil, for example, are far more violent countries and no Mexican or Brazilian will go around spreading their country's bad name like we Colombians tend to do. So yeah, it is a complex many Colombians have. Sorry.
@@luicastillo8630 You're making a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying.
Dude the quality of this video is amazing. Keep up the good content.
Great video! No one makes travel content like Passport Heavy, quality is on another level.
Your production levels are insane. Truly surpassing the standards. Thank you
Great video! We stayed a week in Cartagena earlier this year and cant wait to head back....next up is Medellin!
Outstanding!! This might be the best travel video I have ever seen 👍🏽
Colombia is fun men, since my first time in 2019 i don't vacation on the states anymore, now i go to Colombia 3 times a year and every time i go i dont want to comeback to the states. COLOMBIA ES UNA CHIMBA PARCE.
Phenomenal video production. You have a solid team. The info shared is great 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it!
Thank you for showing "The Town." Love. East Side Born and Raised✌🏾👏🏾
I'm Colombian and I can tell you that Colombian women are Gorgeous and beautiful in many ways, we have great women who are dying to meet the right guy and settle down, colombia is not for everyone, if you go to Colombia looking for trouble I'm sure you will find it, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 🙏🇨🇴✌️♥️
Correct 🇨🇴✌️💪💯💯💯🙏🫡 It's a clickbaity title but most of the people `WHO KNOW AND TRAVEL THERE KNOW COLOMBIA can be better and will get better. That's all. The good, the bad, and the ugly....but the GOOD MOSTLY because what alot of Colombians who HAVE been to the U.S. understand how the overall majority of well travelled gringos LOVE COLOMBIA in all parts of it the good, the bad, the ugly. It happens
Prostitution is all over the world
Even though venezuelans are being kidnapped to work for Colombian cartels as sex slaves, don't talk about it.
Instead come to Kulumbiya and enjoy yourselves because there is no honor to protect women.
Ch!ld...sex traff!CK!ng is amyth....am I right?
All the ones I met acted like money grew on tress. Yes their beautiful they are to money hungry for me .
@ede4345 clearly your NOT ready to be a man.
@@ede4345let's be honest, no woman is going to date someone who is broke.😂
Loved this video. Made my night. Keep producing more videos - love your content!
Man, was in Medellin earlier this month. What a place! loved it.
I bet you'll return back there to find a wife😄
Amazing video bro. I was thinking about starting a TH-cam channel the next time I go to Colombia, but you just touched on everything I’d ever say to say. Peace n love bro✊🏾
38:45 it's the sprinting away from your problems for me
I LOVE the Passport Heavy channel - congrats on such a comprehensive and thorough body of work that is this documentary.
Keep it up bro, we look up to you!
PH Team is the best with the gems.
Production value in this was amazing. Thank you for that
I went to Cartagena last year and it was the first place out the country I could see myself moving too. I loved Colombia , I even went to palenque where the first freed African slaves still have their traditional roots .
Agreed Santa Marta is much calmer and the vendors are much more respectful and less aggressive. Parque de novias has so many restaurants, and sunsets there are incredible! Mountains right next to the beach are just awe inspiring.
Awesome video! I like the great information. Colombia looks fun. Thumbs up. Thank you very much.
Always love your content, Jubril. Very professional and informative and this was the episode I needed to really see. Incredibly interesting with so much lush and vibrant footage. Praise to you and your team for putting together a 1:12:32 long program with audio levels and music choices. This was not an easy feat. Thanks this content.
Nah this is lit!! Been watching your channel for a while now, can’t wait to continue my endeavors in my great homeland
This was the best vlog on Colombia I’ve seen I’m ready to get out there now
I enjoy your videos high quality high message , Colombia has changed a lot since I first went there on 2012 .
Been going to Colombia for 7 yrs and never had a problem. Most beautiful country i've ever been to.
Beautiful women, people and country. It's unbelievable and i love it from my first visit.
Mannn a part of me loves when people say stay away from a particular place. Won't have tourists coming to mess a good thing up.
so DOPE. I got the itch to go back to Colombia again.
Great video!! You guys look like a lot of fun 😃
Our James Bond is Back.
The Best Channel on TH-cam.
San Andres island and the people are real, beautiful, amazing! Even the Coast Guard is thumbs up!
Love the good vibes your giving off
We go every summer to Pereira
Sometimes from there we travel to another city like Santa Marta , Cartegena .
San Andres is gorgeous
It’s not so dangerous but yeah, stuff happens so be alert . Look, listen and pay attention. God bless ❤
I’ve been living in Cartagena for the past 2 years , I love this city 🏙️
Lived there for 6months facts.
Cartagena is a vibe.
Definitely worth the wait!
Youri (and the rest of the film & editing crew) are just showing off now.
As always, I’m left adding another spot to my bucket list and job well done PH!
Hey lad!
Having a good time huh
Right on brother 👍👏🙌😃
Yes. High class vibes in Colombia 🇨🇴 very well done hermano 😎
wow i never heard of 'get your guide', i just came back from a month trip in Medellin and wish i knew about that... will definitely use for future international trips or my next Colombia visit
Good morning lil bruh. This is your new Auntie from Florida. I am so proud of you and your POSITIVE channel. I love Colombia and have been there so many times since the 80's. I am sooo angry with all the crazy reporting about how dangerous the country is for foreign people. I found your channel and was almost crazy smiling so hard. Considering the fact that we live in the most dangerous country in the world with random abstract crimes against people. Ugh! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you have favor from older viewers as well. Please don't ever get tired of treading alone and not following the trends. We love it. Again thank you and be blessed always.
Travel Enjoy Life 🎉 Happy Holidays PH Family
Tremendo video!
This lady's beautiful. shout out from Jamaica.
From what i can see this place is gorgeous very beautiful i love the unique look WOW 😮👍🏽🇺🇸
We’ve been patiently waiting. Y’all back🔥
Lived in Colombia for five months. Never had one issue. Cartagena, Barranquilla (went to his party @19:00), Medellin (Which reminds me so much of Brooklyn New York) Straight dolo in every city. Nothing but amazing late nights and early mornings, No problems at all. Compared to Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), I found Colombia much safer.
Thank you guys!!!!!
I just returned from Medellin this past Monday and had a BALL!!! Will be going BACK!!!
Do ur thing bro💯🔥
Nice!
Aww no day trip to El Peñol?! That was the highlight of our trip!
Thanks for the Info

Jubril it's not pronounced "Medi- JEAN!" The two lls are pronounced with the "y" sound. So Medillin is pronounced "MEDI-YEEN".
Bogota, Bucaramanga, El Salar de Galerazamba, a bit more on Guatape, Sweet Georgia Cafe more next time! Well done!
@@roses4me451 WRONG, it is pronounced Mede-JEAN. you should ask a few colombians before you act like you're so smart

What a great video.... I lost it when u where talking about being confident all around the world and funneling your way through certain situations lol... thatnk u for keeping that footage it was very vulnerable of u being that u got turned back around and got funneled yourself as soon as u said what u said lmao.... and the cicada sperm part omg she got splashed 💦....omg too funny...great video ma boy... chimba parce 🔥 🇨🇴
Great video ! Top notch
Bro, im a 49 year old Colombian from Cali, and i moved to the US when i was 16 years old, lived in NYC for 20 years and the rest here in Boca Raton Florida, Anyways I mentioned this because i been thinking on moving to europe but now after seeing your videos of my homeland im second guessing myself because i do know Locombia (as i call it) is freaking awesome
INCREDIBLE video guys!! To the whole Passport Heavy team....I absolutely loved this! And I've been to Cartagena and Medellin a few times but you've made me wanna see more now!!
Thank you so much, appreciate the love!
Amazing video 🎉.
A well done film and kinda of reminds me of the old hbo when I was a little kid watching their documentary at night
I loved it. Had to subscribe..... Good one guys.
Appreciate the love, Thank you
🙌🏼 Shout out from Jamaican 🇯🇲.

Great video, and incredible cinematography as usual! 👏🏾
When you going to the Philippines. Looking forward to that video.
I’m sold. Time to put my passport to use real soon
The 🐐’s back at it again

This is top tier editing skills, holy shit 🔥
San Andres 🏴 🇨🇴 is the best !! Hidden gem full of culture , party , and reggae!! 🔴 🟡 🟢 🔥 one love
You are doing Gods work
I LOVE COLOMBIA.
I need to visit Colombia as a young black men first I'm going to do is stack my money up and save it get my passport to travel to beautiful Colombia
100% A+ A+
Crime - all of the things mentioned happen everyday in Miami, NYC, LA, etc. Crime is crime.
no its not, being drugged and kidnapped is running rampant in the usa like Colombia/ medillin, stop talking silly
Very great well detail video
Oh passport heavy now I gotta go to Colombia now
Aye bruh what the hell ?! You have been going to every spot on my wishlist all 2023!
BruH ..your videos are SiiiiiiiiCK!!!!! thank you cheers
Appreciate the love. Thank you 🙏🏾
This is so dope❤ am I seeing things or is that Miss earth from Belize? Where is the previous woman that was traveling with him?
Great video, Thanks for visiting our beautiful colombia 🇨🇴✌️
Gringos are not here to see the beauty of our country but to do sex tourism and drugs. That's not the type of tourist we need. Stop being so naive.
Great episode! I need to get to Colombia ASAP!! 💯
I went to colombia bro cartagena. This is a HUGE difference from the side that i saw. For sure. didnt even know they had this type of vibe ion colombia. Gonna have to go back now. but to this side
Brother this was great as usual my only critique is next time leave the subtitles up a slight bit longer and use different color . I got frustrated having to pause and rewind 3 to 5 times just to understand the translation of what the text said . ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Appreciate the feedback
prices have been skyrocketing in Medellín, and a lot of them have been due to videos like this where every two minutes they say how cheap things are. It gives Colombians incentives to raise the prices.
You’re an idiot
Nyla is so beautiful 😍
What happened with Bogotá? You would have loved it. The most sophisticated city in Colombia
This is by far the greatest Colombia travel video I ever seen 💯💯
That was great. I just came back from a month in Colombia a few days ago and this has inspired me to go back and see even more. Medellin in particular is all the things that they say it is. The good is great and the bad is bad. But the people are amazing. The worst thing about it overall is the crime and scams. You have to be more alert than most places I have been. But the energy of the city makes it worth an extended visit. It’s an incredible place for travelers. I wouldn’t recommend it for tourists though.
Thanks, our country Colombia is a beautiful place, the beauty of the landscape, flora and fauna is what I love about my country. 🇨🇴✌️
amazing video!
Amazing PR 👍🏾Got the itch now. Which rooftop hostel was that in the video?
Next time if you wanted to go to Barranquilla there is direct flight from San Andres just less flights than Cartagena!
Great, informative video, as usual. Question: where did you get that translation device @55:01?
