Is the border crossing from Colombia to Ecuador currently safe to do by bus?

[Guest]

Is the border crossing from Colombia to Ecuador currently safe to do by bus, or would people recommend paying extra and flying?

Thanks

Super easy and super safe

True, Ipiales isn't the nicest city, just the sanctuary is lovely! We did the border crossing a few weeks ago and it was totally fine. Super easy and fast. If you wanna know more let me know

I went the other way around and it was fine. However, no direct bus. Only to Tulcan, then taxi to border, then taxi to Ipiales, then bus.

You can share a taxi with locals going the same way. Ipiales was sketchy.
