Landmines in Colombia
As of 2010 Colombia has the second highest amount of landmines in the world, only Afghanistan has more. Therefore it is appropriate to not walk around in the countryside without consulting locals first Landmines are found in 31 out of Colombia's 32 departments, and new ones are planted every day by guerrillas, paramilitaries and drug traffickers. Due to this it is difficult, even for locals and police, to know where the landmines are, as areas free of landmines today can be full of them tomorrow. Therefore it is important for travellers to observe extreme caution outside of urban centers.
