Doesn't matter to where.
Once you arrive in Colombia, the officials there don't ask about it.

Sure they will give you a refund if you cancel, but that refund is always a rip off.
I really wish I did not have to buy a return ticket till I'm in country. I like to sometimes change the departure city, but you can't when you are locked into a round trip ticket.
I know a fellow who only buys a one way ticket, and he gets a phony receipt for a return ticket that he shows to the ticket agent. As far as when you arrive in the country you are visiting they have never asked to see a return ticket. Only the pricks in the USA airports seem to do.

Posts: 6RE: mansion
Thanks World traveller.
I looked into the mansion info and might add it on my list. Maybe 1 night just to see and experience it. I think I'm more of a freelance kinda guy and always up for challenge. I think I'm mostly going to do airbnbs and roll the dice with day / night game technicics.
Women here in Vancouver are some of the hardest and snobiest ladies in the world. Very hard picking up women in Vancouver, its just horrible here. ID like to try the bar scene, and I love women of all shapes and sizes. I'm sure ill be over whelmed with pretty ladies.
I have also been reading up on the clock tower, super cool. It sounds like something out of a storybook. Can't wait to see it for reality.

Posts: 1348US citizens need proof of returning to the US?
Can anyone clear this up for me. A friend told me that as a US citizen going to Colombia I needed to show proof that I had a return ticket specifically to the US, even if my round trip ticket was from another country going to Colombia and going back to that country. For instance. I am a US citizen but I'm in the Dominican Republic. I want to visit Colombia from the Dominican Republic. I don't need to go back to the US to get to Colombia.
I buy a round trip ticket in the DR, to return back to the DR. My friend says even though I'm returning back to the DR, Colombia ( or maybe only the ticket agent ) wants to see that I have a return ticket to go back to the US too. He said Colombia ( or once again only the ticket agent ) doesn't care about the date you return to the US, just that you have proof you are returning to the US. I find this info hard to believe. So does any of this ring a bell?

Cibc (or others) may say they don't charge an exchange fee. However they do say that there is a 2. 5% cost built into their exchange rate. So be careful of the claims of "no exchange fees.
There are no Canadian banks that charge less than 2. 5% for foreign exchange to Colombia. Unless something has changed recently. Many have upped it to 3.5%.
And I wouldn't even bother trying to change actual Canadian dollars in Colombia. I can't imagine that working well.

I use airbnb's because I like more space and privacy. I've never stayed at a hotel, other than two nights at the Mansion.
The best exchange rates are at ATM's. Hopefully there are some banks in Canada with cards that do not charge ATM fees nor foreign transaction fees. Otherwise, you'll have to use the exchange stores, and sometimes their rates are pretty bad.

Posts: 6Canadian guy visiting 1st time Colombia Jan 2nd to 20th.
Hello few lovers of Latin ladies,
I'm finally ready to emerge myself into the Latin culture. I'm love my home country but feel the need to get out and explore, maybe even move to Colombia in the next 5 years. I have been raised to believe that Colombia is not safe, but at 40 years old I know this is a lie. We prob have more gang shoots here in Vancouver and Toronto ever year.
Anyways ID love some help and advice on what to do and where to go. I have spent the last 6 months learning as much Spanish as I can in respect of the people Ill be meeting. My big plan is to attend the Storyland EDM music festival so ill be landing in Bogota and then heading north ASAP. ID like to spend 10 days exploring the north beaches and gorgeous women. Then maybe 5 days in Medellin and then 5 days in Bogota to end my journey.
I'm going to read up as much as I can over the next week by cruising through all your helpful threads.
Is there any advice you have or links to some good reads.
Some of my concerns are.
- cell phones, should I buy 3 unlocked phones before I leave.
- Should I use airBNB's.
- chica friendly hotels.
- how to access my money.
And most of all, any fellow north american peeps visiting in January and want to hang out?
Thanks.

In Medellin Oviedo mall is the best spot for money exchange. In Bogota the best spot is across from Unicentro mall.
For ATMs, I prefer Davivienda. They allow me to take up to 2 million per transaction. The max withdrawal depends on your bank. Other people have reported a lower amount.
I tend to use ATMs, but carry some emergency dollars.
