Caracas - get an official cab from a cab stand write down the # and call from your cell to tell someone the # and license plate.
Cartagena should be fine as long as the cab is official
San Juan also and Costa Rica too
I am not sure about Panama or Barranquilla


ColombianitoNY- NO MAS GUERRA!
It's safe in Barranquilla(i've been there before) and probably Cartagena. But take it in the day, if you take it at night, stay in the city where there are a lot of people. You can also have a private taxi like presiosa said...good luck

I would be weary of taking one at night. During the day it should be ok. If you are that concerned, you can always hire a private driver for the day.

For Colombia, yes if you use marked cabs only. Suggest you have hotels, restaurants, etc. call for your cab.


ANDREA L
In Colombia, take taxis by calling them, not in the street, any way, local transportation is safe


Kristy T.
If you have connections, you should be fine. Many people (hotel employees, etc) will have family members that own a taxi, and you can probably trust them if you can trust the person who reccommended it.

In Panama it is safe...They should not charge you more than 2.50 if you are going around the city..If you are going to the airport they might charge you around 25.00.
