It's good to hear that you concur with JohnnyColumbia that it is safer than I may have first thought. I'll let them know your comments about the taxis, beaches and the chiva. Thanks for the help.

I don't find the beaches in the city are good, but the old town definitively is. To start feeling the city at night they could take a chiva (vallenato party bus).
