Banks usually have the official rate that definitely is always better than changing cash in Colombia, you ALWAYS will lose big money in the exchange places, and there is a risk to get fake bills also.
Sometimes the ATM machines in the airport don't have money or they are far away from the exit.

As I have always said, and always will; age is only a factor if you let it be.
End of story.
Have fun!!

Some Gringos have difficulty grasping what the reality is for the countless young and beautiful women of Colombia. They have only three real choices. They can date some poor and uneducated Colombian guy from their barrio. They can be the mistress of a financially successful Colombian guy that is married to another woman. Or they can date a foreign guy. These are their three options, and they are their only options. Colombia is much more elitist than most Gringos realize. Generally speaking, financially successful Colombian men will not marry poor women from poor families living in a poor barrio. It just doesn't happen.
Anybody here worrying about their age should stop worrying about it. Don't worry about what women want. Worry about what you want. Colombian women do not like anything that indicates insecurity or weakness on the part of a man. Worrying about your age indicates such things to Colombian women. The most attractive things to Colombian women are genuine self-confidence and a fun personality.
Even in the case of those that prefer younger men, the preference is readily abandoned when they meet the "right" older man. So get out there and fuck all the young chicas you can. LOL.

I read in the Lonely Planet guide book that Colombians dont like to put spices on their food. They like to eat it plain. Well, to me the main dishes taste bland in Colombia. I dont mind it with the fruits and vegetables, but with the meat cuts they need to spice it up.
My other complaint is that when I've ordered steak its usually a cheap cut of meat. Yes, there is a massive piece of beef or pork or chicken but it needs seasoning.

Posts: 1281Just an update on something that was discussed some months back here, regarding, do regular non-pro girls here in Colombia care about a guy's age?
I have it absolutely confirmed that it WAS a factor in the original case I was talking about, the girl is 20 years old and strongly prefers guys her own age, she had a 26 year old bf but broke up with him partly because she thought he was too old.
HOWEVER there are many other examples absolutely the opposite of that. I know one girl even younger than her who almost exclusively dates guys over 30. Of course she's a prepago so that doesn't count as "non pro". But I have dated 18 and 19 year olds who could care less about anybody's age.

LOL is true. Anyways probably is not our fault. Our taste is educated since childhood. American food sucks even worst than Colombian but we can't taste the difference.
But something is almost universal (For the world's opinion not the American opinion OK?) All the food never will be better than in their original countries.
We can't compare Domino's from a real good home made pizza in Roma.
The only better food I have tried outside of their original country is frinking McDonals out of USA and is only because other countries use REAL meat. And not genetically alterated mutant cows and mixed with all kind of artificial shit.
But all this is about taste education, I like a lot better the food in their own country, my only problem is the sushi, I can't stand it, sorry but I can't have the taste of a polar bear. My fish has to be cooked, even in lime but cooked, not nasty raw. But that is only me. Everybody is free to like what ever, is OK.
I really can go everywhere with out food being a crucial issue. If a country has soul and magic for me that is my best food.

Posts: 732Pablo Escobar
On my last trip to Medellin in October I took a bus ride to Rio Claro and Doradal (3 hours).
Rio Claro is a nature preserve and ecological area with a river running thru it. There's walking and hiking trails along with things to do on the river. There's a lodge for overnight stays and also a restaurant for meals.
After Rio Claro I hopped the bus a few miles into Doradal. Just outside the town is Hacienda Napoles. This is the former home of drug-czar Pablo Escobar. They've turned it into a wild animal zoo and lodging facilities. Pablo had a large collection of exotic animals and after his killing the local state took over the grounds.
His house is being remodeled to make into a museum. But people can walk the grounds and see his former living area.
Animals that I saw: Hippopotamus, Ostrich, Zebras, Pumas, Llamas, Parrotts, Monkeys, Buffalos, and a Butterfly farm.
I plan to go back on my next trip to Medellin (March). I know this is not a travel website, but I think this is an interesting side trip for mongers.

I like all countries actually, different ways, different cultures, amazing music and arts, incredible literature (the way the language allows the imagination to put in paper images and feelings is indescribable), and a singular personality and at the same time bunch of similitudes that give them that identity, Latin American is a beautiful mosaic, very rich in cultures and color,. But the best treasure of the continent, is its people, even though the economic situation is so bad and corruption and mafias are a fucked up cancer, good people and high values still been found in every single country.,
Pretty girls are everywhere. Some places more than others, but that is so global.

I was watching National Geographic Channel.
They were showing Subs being built inland.
So if you happen to go into the mountains or near the coast and see a boat being built, that could be a Sub, get the hell out of there.
Just a word of caution.
