My advice depends on the city. I live in Bogota. One universal advice is that if you're not looking for drugs or sex work, the chances of ending up 'in a well' are very low. While acclimating, I recommend Uber over taxis; you

I guarantee you there are many women van/car lifers who don't use adult diapers (I know quite a few!). As has been said many times in this thread, there are inexpensive tools for this.

Garmin GPS coordinates + downloaded topos got me out of a dicey situation slightly lost solohiking in the Grand Canyon. Similar situations when the trail flooded in Ouachita National Forest. It's a must have for solo hikers.
