Accumulation It's time to accumulate a few peso's if your living in Colombia while there in the 1,872 bargain range.

I received 1,899.7 COP this weekend using my Etrade ATM card and again early this morning. No bank charges.....and I used different ATM machines providing the same rate of exchange.

Down Dollar Never fails that the dollar is down when I am going to Colombia. Why is that?

Miguel_Clavo says on Jun 4, 2007, 16:11:

Uhmmm. RJ, just keep us posted before you plan your next trip to Colombia, just so that we are warned about the exchange rate...=)

Just my opinion...

What effect, if any, do you think this will have on airfares to Colombia? It's time to start shopping for my next ticket.

goin_south says on Jun 4, 2007, 20:57:

I could be wrong again, but.... I think it might increase your output for say, an Avianca flight, within Colombia, but only if bought from outside Colombia. But, I just paid Friday for a RT ticket from Pasto to Bogota, and it didn't appear to be so bad. I'm not even sure I am thinking right about it. In fact I'm almost sure I'm not; the fare seemed almost,... equitable.
