Visiting Valledupar in northern Colombia

This week I am in the small city of Valledupar in northern Colombia. Valledupar is a city of about half-million people in the greater metropolitan area. It sits between the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Venezuela border. The city appears nice enough but my personal experience so far is that the people are not quite a friendly as in other cities and towns in Colombia. And I've been told over and over again to not go out walking alone because it's dangerous here. Well, I'm not going to sit in the hotel room all day every day simply because somebody says it dangerous.
