Is dollar so cheap? When I was there (a few months ago) it was something like

1 Dollar = 2,200 COP

I'll keep buying euros to visit Colombia.

SALTADOR,

Touche' to you sir!
The dollar is down but has not even received a standing 8 count as of yet!

Any one recommend a decent Cambio in Medellin? Best I could do last week was 1725 at Orvieto Mall..any others?

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Example what I spent on rent,dinner,and just normal things is cheap...still in Colombia..The only thing I have found expensive is internet service, and imported items at Exito or Carrefour. Ahh fuel is alittle more expensive but drive a Moto so don't care...

Anyways..just commenting that even with the Peso strong things are still not expensive....compared to a year ago yeah..if your income is dollars..
