Question
I am travelling to Colombia and am wondering if 2 piece bathing suits are viewed as immodest or are they common?  I have travelled to countries in central America and noticed in certain groups it was inappropriate to wear a 2-piece, so as to not offend the locals.  I would like to know if Colombian women themselves where 2 piece bathing suits and are therefore acceptable?  Thank you.

Answer
Hi,
Colombia is not a conservative country when it comes to dress codes. You will see VERY revealing 2 piece bathing suits in every beach in our country. For you to see, check this page:
