First trip to Colombia this coming September. I am having a difficult time with web searches and scanning ISG posts for chica hotels to stay at in Bogota and Cartagena. I am looking for good location, roomy, under $75/ night. Thanks,

You can get a Colombian SIM and for $10 USD or so have data for the whole month, possibly even less if you use enough wifi.
Just remember to call in and register your phone the first time you do this.

The only potential advantage is if you're looking to pull some girl who's a potential other passenger, although if you push the wrong button, she could report you to Uber and get your account deactivated.
You can also download Tappsi and use it to hail the yellow taxis in most Colombian cities.
Personally I prefer to have everything electronic and not have any cash changing hands, because of the convenience but also because it avoids any potential scams with taxi drivers.

Using the casas de cambio is a smart idea if you wind up holding a large a mount of COP near the end of your trip and you need to change it back. Cambios Vancouver in Salitre Plaza is usually the best bet in Bogota in these cases.
To get COP, using an ATM is by far the best. If you are US based, get a Schwab checking account and a Capital One visa. You'll never pay another fee.

Posts: 10UBER pool?
I was checking out how much an Uber would cost from the airport to where I'm staying and I noticed the option for Uber pool. Has anyone used that? Is it fun riding with others to your destination in Colombia? I doubt I'd use it but I'm curious if anyone has.

Posts: 172Cash in Colombia
I disagree with Luvr. I would never use a money exchange house. Use your debit card in Colombia. Mine is free. No ATM charge. Even with a 3 or 4 percent ATM charge it is the best way to get cash. And safe and easy.

Not bothered about paying a small fee withdrawing money every few days just don't want to pay a fee everytime I use a taxi.
Never knew you could use cash with Uber, I'll have to read up on it.

The best way to avoid foreign transaction fees is to find a bank that doesn't charge fees. I don't know what is available in the UK. Otherwise, you should take cash (preferably US dollars) and exchange at any of the many exchange stores. Shop around for exchanges, because they all have different rates. They are called cambios. You get a better rate at ATM's, but transaction fees take away that advantage. When I used the exchange stores, I found that Inter Dolar near Parque Lleras in Poblado usually had the best rates.
I have found many airbnb apartments that allow guests, but many don't. https://www.apartmentinternational.c...tions/medellin has many short-term rental apartments, and almost all are guest friendly. They are professional apartment managers.
