Might be a good idea to do some research and find out what the security situation is like in Turbo before you go.

About 20 years ago, I spent some time in Columbia training Columbian National Police aircraft pilots. Whenever we went up to Turbo, we were always accompanied by a helicopter gunship in the Turbo area - there were a lot of concerns about security in that area.

Many years have passed, and things may have changed... then again, maybe not.

Sorry about that.

We have a province here in Canada, on the west coast of the country, called "British Columbia" (spelled with a 'u', not an 'o'), and from force of habit, I used that spelling in my post rather than the correct spelling of the name of the South American country of Colombia.
