Cali has a bad reputation for crime and danger, all over Colombia now. People in Barranquilla often brag, to me, how much safer their city is compared to Cali. And from what I have seen, I can only agree.
So is Barranquilla the safest large city in Colombia? Safer than Cali, Medellin and Bogota? and in what ways is it safer?
I would be willing to live in a shittier city to chase tail if it meant it was safer at night.
Here is a general comparison without taking the parts of the city into context. For most of people, it all comes down to where you stay in the city. That goes for every city.
Murders
Bogota: 19 per 100,000 inhabitants
Cali: 71 per 100,000 inhabitants
Medellin: 26.7 per 100,000 people
Barranquilla: 22 per 100,000 people
In comparison:
Baltimore : 37.4 per 100,000 people
Denver : 9 per 100,000 people
San Pedro Sula, Honduras: 169 per 100,000 people
