What is the best way to convert US dollars to Colombian pesos?
Exchanging money in Colombia tends to be more favorable. However, you can exchange with your local bank prior to departing for Cartagena. Otherwise, you can exchange at the airport in Cartagena or at a money exchange within the city of Cartagena. Cash is mainly for street vendors and taxi drivers. All restaurants and stores do take credit cards. Tipping in US dollars is often accepted as well.
Wedding day attire suggestions: Women- maxi dresses, comfortable shoes Men- long sleeve guayabera, linen suit, suit
