Passport Bring a valid passport. Make sure it does not expire within 6 months of your travel dates. Entry requirements U.S or Canadian guests just need a valid passport. Canadian guests should be aware that an entry fee has historically applied and may still be charged in some cases upon arrival. Currency The local currency is the Colombian peso (COP), and while U.S. and Canadian credit cards are widely accepted, it’s helpful to carry some cash for taxis, tips, and smaller purchases. Transportation Use Uber or pre-arranged drivers from the airport. Please avoid accepting rides from drivers outside the terminal. Weather Guatapé has mild, spring-like weather year-round. Days are warm, evenings can be cooler. Light layers are recommended. Altitude Medellín sits at a moderate elevation (~5,000 ft), but most people do not experience issues. Stay hydrated, especially after arrival. Outlets and electricity Colombia uses the same plug types as the U.S. & Canada (Type A/B), so no adapter is needed. Voltage is 110V.
