I only use Scotiabank when I want to withdraw pesos in Colombia. Any city. I don't have an account, but their ATM's work 100% of the time. You should be OK.

Posts: 63El Centro / Botero. Good Times!
Pro tips:
Bring a paper and pen to get numbers so you don't have to take your phone out all the time. (If you want to get numbers for later).
There are no "girly drink" prices, and beers are cheap. So feel free to grab a girl and have a drink with her and chat.
Be careful w / phone and wallet if girls are touching / grabbing at you. Or use a money belt.
Go with a friend.
Think of it as a time to relax and have a drink and look at the extremes of the human condition (and body) on a bustling street. There are diamonds in that rough though.
Good times will be had by all (or most? LOL).
I'm throwing my hat in for positive experiences at El Centro! Been to the street behind the church probably 4-5 times. Yes, I'm a gringo, and my Spanish is "muy malo. " Been solo, with another dude, and with other gringo females who just like watching crazy shit. Have also pulled some phone numbers while there, to call later. Also been to some sketchier-looking places down the street. I've been during the day, and pretty late at night.
I've never had any issues in any of these spots. I also stayed in Mandarin Oriental #2 barrio in a casa Antigua for over a month, and had a dozen gringos visit me over that time, including my female family members, and no one had any issues, although we were constantly told how dangerous it was there. It wasn't. Both day and night.
This is not to say robberies don't happen. Or that my short experience isn't representative. I just think a lot of the fear gets overplayed. If anyone would like to join me in El Centro between Nov 23 - Dec 2, let me know.
I will disclose that I travel all over the world and go to shady parts of cities all the time. And have a pretty high tolerance for bullshit, and high awareness of what's going on. Although I have been pickpocketed and scammed in different spots around the world.

Posts: 4051Read the forum, it's all here. You will notice a place directly across the street from your hotel. chicaspunto.com is the next nearest casa, then there is Paris Club, Zandaly and several others. You can take a taxi or uber to Energy in Laureles for 10,000 to 12,000 pesos.

Posts: 4051I keep an AMEX card that I can use to make withdrawals from my checking account as a backup to my ATM card. The fees are a few dollars per transaction on top of the ATM fee but I only use in case my ATM card is lost or stops working. I can also use it if I need to exceed the ATM card's $500 daily limit. I can't remember that ever happening.

Posts: 4051If you contact the issuing bank they will tell you whether or not you can use the card in Colombia. They will also tell you what the fees would be.

ATM is the best rate, especially if you have a no fee card like Schwab.

Posts: 102Just booked my hotel room for 14 days by Ayenda Botero in Centro, I figure it's too close to everything I want to not & it's only $144 for 2 weeks so it can't get any cheaper than that.
I'm trying to note all the places within 10 mins walking distance from my hotel now in my phone so I have my itinerary ready.
1. Strip clubs: Playmates bar show, Barra Ejecutiva & Bar Maracaibo.
2. Casas: New Life.
What would be the other good / decent strip clubs & casa's within a 10 min walking distance from my hotel in Centro?

Posts: 586That is one approach.
I personally don't like the chicas at Gustos or, in general, the putas that walk the street in Lleras. You can accomplish about the same with a Facebook girl for less money. I have Facebook girls who I take out to dance and drink. Eventually we go back to my apartment and fuck. Usually they stay over. As long as they know I am going to pay them (150-200 mil), then they enjoy the good time. If I don't feel like fucking, they still enjoy going out to drink and dance and as they drink, they get more flirty. Which can be half the fun. I have no need to pay 150 to 200 USD plus the inflated cost of drinks at Gustos. But to each his own.
