Question

Do I need to apply for a VISA? Customs?

Answer

For US Citizens: No! There is no need to apply for additional visa from the USA to Colombia. Your passport must be valid for a few months prior to the time of entry and for the duration of your stay. Colombians coming from the US: If you are a dual citizen of the U.S. and Columbia, be sure to bring both your American and Colombian passports for entry and exit. Customs can take up to 2 hours queuing in line, in a packed, lightly air conditioned space. We recommend planning ahead for this wait time by refilling a water bottle prior & having portable fans handy in your carry ons. *If you're able to sign up for wheel chair accessibility for this flight into Cartagena, Colombia, it can help getting through the customs line faster and save you from standing.

Question

CURRENCY EXCHANGE

Answer

IF YOU WANT CASH: Bancolombia: good exchange rate and wide acceptance of US cards at ATMs. Hotel Caribe offers a reasonable exchange at the concierge desk. Airport: rates are probably better than exchanging at a exchange desk close to the hotel. U.S. Banks: check with your bank to see if they offer foreign currency exchange services before your trip. CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS AND APPLE PAY ARE WIDELY ACCEPTED You may still need some cash for things you buy on the street or in some restaurants/small shops/if you choose to take a taxi that is not uber/lyft and tips etc.)

Question

Using Uber/Lyft in Cartagena?

Answer

Yes-you can use UBER/LYFT to get around securely (we recommend it) and it is customary for locals to use Lyft/Uber to get around Cartagena. The 15 min drive from Hotel Caribe to the Walled City with Uber is around $8-$12 USA dollars
