For those that are paying attention to the current election season going in in South America, they would have noticed that Colombia's president Alvaro Uribe was reelected in a landslide victory about a week ago. Uribe is credited with reopening many roads and parts of the country that were previously controlled by militant groups. The groups have eitrher disbanded or have been pushed to the very fringes of the Colombian mountains and jungles, a major step for this country that has been plagued by years and years of chaos. Those who have visted recently know that the country is as safe as any other on the continent and that this latest election only spells out increased security and mobility surrounding foreign tourists.
