Tourists Should Stay Away From These Beautiful Locations— For Their Own Safety

London, Paris, Tokyo and Sydney are some of the top world destinations people want to travel to. There are also some places in the world that are equally beautiful… but very, very dangerous. Which city should you not visit without a tour guide?

Find out that and which beautiful country is sadly becoming rubble, below…

Colombia

The high crime rates in Colombia are caused mostly by gang wars. But there are also protests and demonstrations that can put tourists in danger. Assaults, armed robberies and homicides are pretty common, too. So is kidnapping for ransom.

To avoid putting yourself at risk, dress like one of the locals and never carry your valuables with you. It really helps to know a few phrases in Spanish, too, like in most countries.

Madagascar

The political issues and high unemployment rates have triggered muggings and robberies at airports and open markets. Some of the crimes include car theft and highway robberies that often turn violent.

So, tourists who travel here shouldn’t stand still in one place for too long or leave their car alone.

El Salvador

According to OSAC, (the Office of Student Access and Completion) gang activity, muggings and violent crimes are at an all-time high in El Salvador.

And tourists looking to climb or hike in the country’s national parks should be warned that there have been several armed robberies reported in these areas.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a war-torn country. The ground is littered with land mines, and bombings are a recurring theme here.

There are also various parts of the country where extremist factions like Al-Qaeda and the Islamic Jihad Union are in complete control.
