Hello Dan:

The road from Cartagena to Bogota is not dangerous, however I suggest you only drive in the daytime. Night time driving here is akin to a suicide mission. Cartagena to Medellin will take you 8 to 12 hours depending on your style of driving. The last time I did the ride I took 11 hours. Medellin to Bogota is a very unpleasant ride, in my opinion, however I think 6 to 10 hours is plenty of time.

Good luck and ride safe. If you make it back to Cartagena, look me up
