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 |

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. |

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

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. |

NO! NO!! NO!!! stay away from the taxis. They will most likely kill and rob you!!! |
