In Today’s installment, We follow Conor Woodman in a show named scam city, a series where he gets scammed, so we don’t have to.
As soon as Conor arrives in Bogota, he is warned about a dangerous drug made from a flowering shrub that renders victims helpless to thieves’ requests. This drug, known locally as “la flor de la muerte,” has been the center of numerous alarming reports, with locals sharing chilling stories of unsuspecting tourists who fell victim to its effects. Conor learns that the shrub thrives in the lush landscapes surrounding the city, making it not just a symbol of beauty, but a hidden peril.
He becomes acutely aware of the dangers lurking in unfamiliar alleys and crowded markets, where the whispered warnings of street vendors echo in his mind, painting a vivid picture of both intrigue and caution. With each passing hour, the gravity of the situation intensifies, as he realizes that understanding the local culture and its dangers is as essential as exploring the vibrant sights of the city, which pulse with life and energy yet hide complexities beneath their alluring facades.
Each interaction, each fleeting glance exchanged with strangers, serves as a reminder that the excitement of discovery must be tempered with vigilance, for the vibrant colors of the market can just as easily invite opportunity as they can camouflage potential threats. As he navigates through this maze of experiences, he begins to appreciate the depth of the city not just by its sights, but also by recognizing the unsung rules that govern its rhythm and flow, making him increasingly aware that his journey is as much about understanding the heart of the city as it is about visually consuming its beauty.
