Most of the restaurants take credit cards, but it’s getting little bit hard during check out at the restaurant, as sometimes they don’t take multiple cards payment (sometimes they can take just 5 cards) , so we are highly recommend to have cash on you
40$ per day for lunch and dinner ( ~350 $ dollars )

The currency in Colombia is the Colombian peso, abbreviated as:
 • COP (international code)
 • $ (symbol used locally — don’t confuse it with US dollars)

Quick facts:
 • 1 USD ≈ 4,000 to 4,500 COP (rates fluctuate, so check the current rate before exchanging)
 • Common bills: $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000, and $100,000 pesos
 • Common coins: $50, $100, $200, $500, and $1,000 pesos

It’s helpful to have smaller bills, as many vendors (especially in rural areas) may not have change for large denominations.

• Colombians are warm, polite, and proud of their country.
 • A few words of Spanish go a long way — say “Buenos días” and “Gracias”.
 • Try local food like arepas, bandeja paisa, and fresh juices.
 • Don’t joke about drugs or Pablo Escobar — it’s a sensitive topic.

If you get motion sickness (or even if you never have—some parts of the road are really curvy), you may need pills for it. We will have some available, but if you know you require a specific kind, please bring your own. Also, don’t forget to pack any other medications you might need during the trip!
