What is the currency in Colombia, and can I use the ATM?
The currency in Colombia is the Colombian peso. The exchange is roughly 1 US dollar to 4800 Colombian pesos, but it fluctuates, so please check that before traveling. We recommend you enter the country with some colombian pesos in hand; however, your credit and debit cards will work in Colombia. When you go to the ATM, the money will come out in Colombian pesos. Notify your bank of your travel so that they do not freeze your card.
How can I get cellular and internet access in Colombia?
Call your phone company ahead of time to see what international data they can provide. When you arrive to Colombia, turn off your phone and turn it back on. This will link you to the network towers over there. Since text messages don't always work, we highly recommend using WhatsApp and downloading the Uber app before coming into the country, as you will not be able to enter the registration codes without access to your text messages.
