USD Exchange RateUSD Exchange Rate
The U.S. dollar is strong in Colombia, though its value may fluctuate slightly as with any currency. It is advisable to carry some cash, including U.S. dollars, as some vendors may not accept credit cards. Most major venues and restaurants, however, do accept major credit cards. There are numerous legitimate currency exchange vendors throughout the city offering fair exchange rates, and they are reliable based on frequent use. Note that they will not accept bills that are torn or damaged, so ensure your cash is in good condition. Cabs operate on a cash-only basis
