I get equivalent of USD 300 per withdrawal from an ATM in Colombia. The restriction can be your own account's overseas withdrawl limit, as well as the ATM's limit.

One time I went to a local bank in a country in So America, ATM machines give $ 200 only so I went to a live teller and asked for $600, after she put my card through this card reader she tells me to punch in my code, I did, after few seconds she tells me the bank in the USA was not responding. I called B of A for my balance and I was short $600! I told the bank my story, they replaced the money right away! Hell, ATM's used give $ 500 for $ 5, now they charge $5 for $200!

Not sure what you mean. It's always been a flat fee whether you wanted to take $20 or $200. Your are just limited by the withdrawal limits of the ATM you go to. Which is a lot lower than the limit of your bank.

[Almotu]

I hear what you are saying Samu. But ATMs can be a hobbyist's best friend, can you imagine using all cash or traveller's checks on a trip for P4P? I don't think anyone does THAT anymore.
You just have to be careful with your usage, ATMs are handy for splurge of the moment situations.

In Bogota, I used New York Money in the Atlantis Mall to change USD to COP. I don't know a better place (yet) so I reasoned that they might not give me the best rate, but should be professional.

Usually when I've changed money in other countries, a mechanical counting machine is used to count the bills. Such machines, as I understand it, also detect counterfeit notes.

At New York Money the one person working there counted by hand. He counted several times before passing it through the window to me. Then I counted. I knew how many 50mil notes there should be. And counted again, then counted a third time. I was one 50mil note short.

I told him in Spanish that it was short and he allowed me to pass all the notes back through the window to him. He recounted, added one 50mil note to the stack, and returned to me. I asked why he didn't use a machine to count the notes. He pointed to a machine off to the side, not in use. I didn't understand the Spanish words he used to explain why it was not in use. Actually, I was pretty sure it was so he could shortchange foreigners. You can draw your own conclusion.

I really like Colombia. And I have had no problems here other than this one. I didn't lose any money. However, this experience reminded me to always protect my interests in all ways. Because as soon as you let your guard down, bad things can happen.

Nothing wrong with being careful but there is something wrong with being paranoid and having a negative attitude. How's your Spanish? Could the word the cashier used have been broken? Maybe malfunctioning? There could be 100 reasons as to why he wasn't using the machine and it easily could have been a mistake in counting out the bills. This is all in your head. Been watching too much Law & Order or CSI. Getting a criminals everywhere complex. Atlantis Mall! Sheesh!

Thanks for informing us the fines at Medellin airport for overstaying the 90 day tourist visa stamp. My last entry they just stamped my passport without writing 60 or 90 on my passport. To extend your tourist visa for another 90 days, go to the migration office (Old international DAS office in Belen). Look it up online, the fee changes every year, is about 85k+, and copies of tickets, passport, and others are required, and takes about half a day. A friend of my said the tourist visa over-stay fee at the border between Colombia and Ecuador was listed at 590k, but since he didn't have any money, they figured something out.

The airline tax you mention is actually the airport exit tax that everyone pays, except visitors that have been in Colombia less than 60 days. I once had 70K refunded to me at the airport because tickets bought in Colombia has this tax included.

Adding to this, I would just like to ask, if you are close to reaching your 60 or 90 day point, can you leave the country for a week or two and come back in, if you do that will it allow you to stay a further 60 or 90 days? I know this is done by expats a lot in Thailand, where by they leave the country for a day or two then when they come back it is reset.

Just left Medellin after 100 days. Got hit with the minimum fines by both the airline and customs for over 90 days without leaving Colombia. Airline was 70k ($37) and customs was 295k ($160). Total hit was about $200. I can't say what the fine would have been at 120, 140 days, etc but can only comment on my recent experience.

For all of you pot smokers out there be careful with the clothes that you wear to the airport. I am usually careful about this. The night before leaving I smoked a joint and left my pants on the counter nearby for the next day. All of the passengers in Miami were individually interviewed exiting the plane, which I have never seen before, creating a line backing up into the airplane tunnel. When I got to the checkpoint the dog could obviously smell the drug odor in my pants which was not noticeable by myself or the agent. After a good patdown and getting my checked bag I was escorted with about 10 other people into a separate area for inspection. The officer told me that the dog smelled drug odor in my pants. He asked me what my story was and what he would find in my bags. I could sense that these agents were not in the mood for lies or for bothering us over petty things. I told him that I smoked a joint the night before, with my pants nearby, and that he would only find rolling papers in my bag. He told me that he appreciated me being honest with him and after a brief search on my way I went.

I started travelling to Latin America 2003, spent much of my time in Buenos Aires, which had it's mythical, but untrue, word of being "Paris of Latin America".

Then I was in Rio. I had a wonderful time. It was "winter" in April. I was 35 why-o medium looks, one of very few tourist on this low season, living at cheap rates in a luxury hotels 100-200 meters from Copacabana.

What happend was that a 20 why-o old garota / black girl, an aerobics girl and I hooked up after passing each other on the street 10 times in 2 days. She, and people where so friendly by nature, a huge contrast to Buenos Aires where I hired an apartment for one year and it felt to come to Paradise, what I thought Buenos Aires had it word to be, but was a haven for psycoanalysts and ruff short term business.

I could not believe that she was offended when I wanted to give her my last 300 REAL," I'm leaving Brasil, you need them", She was offended. She was close to a 10 and had stayed with me as a girlfriend for 5 days, and being offended offered some money-which she really neeeded! She had stayed with me slept with me for 5 days in my hotel giving me the best sex I ever had, better than ever all the semi-ugly girls in Buenos Aires, finding a beautiful and hot "porteña" was. Well not easy, and many with me agree!

Brasilian girls are warm, hot, passionate, in Buenos Aires? Does not Argentina suffer from a permanent social capital collapse in which everyone tries to trick each other, a collective mental malfunction. Argentina then changes currency from time to time to escape huge foreign debts. 90% of foreign investments goes to Brasil. 10% to Argentina, while the country and it's people actually have the capacity to make huge progress, they are stuck with several kind of micro and macro economical traps.

This was 2006, maybe I learned about dating sites 2004, I was to sceptical to send money, but, yes, I felt that latin America had someting to offer that Europe had not! Wonderful climate and people, and girls horney as hell!

2006 I was in Colombia, after leaving Rio. Bogota was way ahead in infrastructure compared to Buenos Aires, just like Rio was!

Since 2009 I have travelled to MDE (and vivisting other places while hiring an apartment) 2-5 months a year depending on economical and social circumstances.

Brasilian girls, just like Colombians look for money, but they are hot, warm but nature. You get GFE, you get friends not asking for money or favours. Now I have learned Spanish very well and got friends for life and a long-term novia in MDE. It is 10 times better than cold climate and social life in Buenos Aires and also Bogota. Rio, MDE and Cartagena are the only 3 metropolitan areas I have visited / lived in where people still are friendly and humane, despite the constant stress they live under. Paisas are aware of this and put effort into keeping it that way, and making social and economical progress at a fast pace, even though many, even Exito supermarkets have to pay to the mafia from San Javier, mostly consitent by x-paramilitaries who can't find work, but don't have Zero respect for human life. Still, murdering rate is down 80% since Pablo Escobar died, and risks ar normal nowaday compared to a city of this size (3,6 millions).

I met my novia in Medellin, daytime, inviting her to take a cup of coffee with me.

Sending money, as those men do is totally a waste of selfrespect, and I have been in that low state of mind that yoiu get while constantly under pressure.

Learn some Portuguese or Spanish on www.livemocha.com Instead. While arriving at Rio, or why not another nice place up-north the coast where the prices are much lower and the beaches equally white, there you will find your Brasilian DreamGirl!

Internetdating has moved over to Facebook, I have one profile just for horney young Medellin paisas that without hesitation offer thier services for 100-200 COP, making expensive fraudly marriage agencies and also Cupid sites obsolete! And for free!

Of course, you will always met "interesadas" and they will fool you of some 500-1000 USD, max, then you have learned which girls you can get for real and which to aviod (100% of those with plastic asses and lips, so they are quiet easy to spot, they walk around looking like luxury pornostars, then of course you always have to be careful, but that count's for the 1th world also!).

Actually my novia in Medellin is very hot. She is not for free, but very independent and want to make her own money. It is only New Life in El Centro that makes it worth to get some variation, since all she ask for is real tuff, like paying 100USD / month for her university. Internet and Parque Lleras prepagos are so much more expensive, just enjoy their sexy looks, don't pay!

If I can find girlfriend / s in Medellin, with good social beaviour, good looks, well mannered, most guy can do it also. Go to the gym before and during the travelling, Colombians care much about looks, cloths, it's normal for men to visit beauty saloons the get a facial, nails, feets, and it's dirt cheap!

I have made several mistakes during my 10 year period travelling to Latin America. Lesson learned: You don't need to pay Gringo Premium Prices. You will get goodlooking girls anyway. By going there you take a risk and everyone get's robbed, tricked at some point, but if you not are foolish, which is the problem, while falling in love, the risks are not bigger than in the US or Europe, where buying a suburb house and new SUV actually limits, if not destroysfor life, your economical ability to experience Paradise. 1th world salaries are so much higher, and if you avoid tourist areas and know some Spanish or Portuguese, you can live like a King for a 33% on average of the price one pays in New York City. Many of the best things restaurants, taxis, and 7-9 class babes being at prices at 10-20, and especially the girls are fantastical emotionally! The food are made of natural products in the restaurants, it is really tasty.

I have been in that State Of Looser Myself, thinking money itself could give love: The good news is: You don't have to send money, learn a little of the "lingo" behave like a gentleman, and you will have a great time at a low price, thus creating a addiction, making you depressed in periods back in Sexprison. But it's worth it! Work, work, save, save- and go. Again and again!

Ken Apple's very worthwhile post reminds me of an experience I had many, many years ago in Rio. I had just started going there and met a Garota that I got along with very well. She spoke English (so obviously a veteran pro) and IMO was very hot. We exchanged contacts and before my next visit, I told her I was coming down. She told me I could stay at her apartment, and I figured what the hell. If it doesn't work out, I can always move to a Hotel.

I stayed with this chick for over a week and paid nothing other than buying her food and drinks (and we generally ate very cheap). We fucked and partied like crazy (something I can no longer do!). Towards the end of my stay, we were sitting together on the couch and she was looking through her emails. She pointed out emails from foreign guys sending her money and saying they were in love with her. She was laughing hysterically about it and saying basically,"how could these guys be such losers?" The way she said it almost made me queasy."Losers!" How could she be so mean to guys that were trying to be nice to her?

To this day, that was easily the best learning experience of my mongering career.

Senator Armando Benedetti of the coalition U Party introduced a bill on Tuesday to try and stop 'millionaires' rides, ' a criminal phenomenon in which a victim is drugged and made to empty bank accounts or ransack his home.

According to newspaper El Pais, Mr Benedetti said he has introduced the bill 'to increase the safety and quality of the overall taxi service. '

He went on to say that 'in the last two years, more than 200 people have been victims of the 'millionaire's ride' and so far this year there have been 35 reports of this crime in Bogota, according to police figures. '

The 'millionaire's ride' is a relatively – and unfortunately – regular occurrence, particularly in Bogota. As well as being recognized by Senator Benedetti as a major problem with taxis it is also discussed at length by several travel guides, such as Bradt, Lonely Planet and Wikitravel.

Bradt advises travellers 'don't get into a taxi if there is anyone else in the car and don't be tempted to hail a taxi off the street. '

Wikitravel says that concerning taxi rides 'the most dangerous is the very common 'Paseo Millonario' (Millionaire Ride) , in which the cab driver picks up his accomplices along the way and together they take your valuables, including money from your cards, forcing you to withdraw cash from ATMs until your withdrawal limit is reached. To add insult to injury, they can keep you past midnight and withdraw your daily limit a second time. '

Some of the measures suggested by the Senator are clearly a direct response to the specific patterns of these attacks. As has been noted when the attackers keep the victim to withdraw money after midnight, Mr Benedetti has suggested 'restricting the withdrawal from money' from ATMs between 10pm and 6am.

It is thought that one of the triggers for the proposed bill is the murder of Terry Watson, an American DEA agent who was killed after taking a taxi from the street in Bogota when leaving a pub.

He has also called for taxi's to be fitted with mandatory GPS and panic buttons, with drivers and companies who are not complient being hit with heavy penalties. The new measures would see new drivers checked for criminal records in order to prevent previous offenders from having the chance to commit further offences.

It has also been suggested that a database, accessible by any citizen, would be set up with a profile of each taxi driver. The information supplied would include 'the name and number of the driver, photo, identification number, date of training, a company to which it belongs, the license number and vehicle driven company. ' Companies that fail to collect the information would be subject to heavy fines.

I didn't know the smoking ban in the hotels was for the whole country of Colombia. Because at the Nutibara I never said anything to management and they never said to me. I just did my smoking thing. In Cali, the Plaza, Versailles and Windsor hotels never said anything to me about the ban. I didn't think it applied to Cali.

The Hotel Nevada kind of frowned when I mentioned if I could smoke, but didn't stop me. The walls are closing in on us smokers I know.

Maybe if I didn't mention it they wouldn't have known. However I don't try to hide pink elephants when booking a room for a month. Can I bring a guest back ? Can I smoke etc. ? It does no good IMO to hide anything. If they agree then it's cool if not move on.

With CRIPA valued at roughly $2 per gram. YOU B BUGGIN if you think a smoke free room would be of value to most young americans.

They probably started enforcing the ban more now or it goes in cycles just like it does in some other countries. One day yes the next no. But who wants to book for a month under those conditions? Not me. I travel to escape these kinds of rules.

I haven't thrown in the towel yet. I have until Sept 3 to figure it out or it's back to Tijuana for me.

[BayBoy]

The ban applies to the entire country according to the code violation they sent me. If you google it the same information will come up. Smoking in public enclosed places is ILLEGAL. I'm sure some hotels will let you do it discreetly but who what and where are they located? Are they in my budget and are they on a quiet street and are they affordable? Too many annoying details for someone that wants to party. This is something I need to research now before ever buying another airline ticket.

They just sent me another email this morning apologizing saying it isn't them it's the Govt. Isn't it always!

It's really annoying.

PS. Last time I stayed at the Nutibara they made me smoke on the balcony at the end of the hallway. The ashtray in my room was worthless.

Yes, I have stayed over 180 days with a student visa (now called TP-3 visa). All you need to do is register for Spanish classes at a university. I paid for 6 months of classes up front and received a year visa. If you look at the cancilleria website you can get a list of all the required documents (in Spanish). If applying in Bogota make sure to show up at lease an hour before they open unless you want to be there a long time. And a university is a great place to meet tons of chicas.

Has anyone here stayed beyond the 180 day per calendar year limit and had to apply for a visa? If so, any tips for a smooth and discrete process?

Peace
