FARC presence
Before leaving the UK I wasn't expecting to have to read up on a terrorist (/freedom fighters depending on your opinion) organisation to try and decide on a route, but hey ho.
I'd like to ride out to La Macarena to get to Caño Cristales in a few weeks, but I've read that FARC (what's left of them) were based in/around San Vincent. They mostly disbanded a few years ago, but apparently there's still a few (~2000) of the guerillas still fighting, but i can't find anything saying if they're still based in San Vincent (I guess because the police don't know where they're based or they'd do something). I also read that there was a call to arms by their former VP 2 weeks ago.
Does anybody have any up to date info on the region?
