Bogota is OK, and certainly Santa Marta and Cartagena, if you take normal precautions. Don't worry too much. Beware however especially in Cartagena of the street-sellers who can be quite persistant and a nuissance.

For accomodation you may want to check my Bogota pages. I would suggest (and personally prefer) to stay in North-Bogota as you will see when you look at my pages.
And, if needed, you also may want to have a look at my Colombia transportation pages.

Being able to speak some Spanish would also help a lot.

Click on my name, you will go to my home-page.
On my home-page, click on Travel Pages, you will go to a list (and map) of all my pages. When there, click on the Bogota page and after that on the tips I made (accomodation, transportation).

You may also want to check my Colombia page, e.g. the transportation tips.
