I need COLOMBIAN CURRENCY in NYC

YTO SAN says on Nov 29, 2005, 13:14:

Currency Booth There should be a Foreign Exchange Currency Booth at the International gate. I've been in many international aiports here in the States and all of them so far have that booth. I've seen them in Las Vegas, Houston, Miami to mention some locations. I personally have use the one in Miami Intl Airport when I travel to Colombia. The currency exchange rates are very fair according to the official post.

IMO the EASIEST is just to hit the ATM at El Dorado and get some pesos out. I have never had the slightest problem with this, and get a good rate, although your bank may charge your 3.5%.
You could also do the exchange thing at JFK and get really screwed on the rate. OR you could go to many different currency places in Queens, including all branches of Delgado Travel. But AFAIK the best deal is to use the ATMs in Colombia!

Easily Accessible... Are the atm's easily accessible and easy to find?? Are they open 24/7? Just playing it safe. I want to eat in Bogota, i havent seen my gf in over three months and dont want to waste time on silly things like eating.

Yes and I'm not positive Many ATMs in town actually close at 10 or 11pm, but I think the airport is an exception.

Rubi I think you're off this time I've used ATMs all over the city after 11 pm, including near Barrio Sante Fe. LOL!!! What exactly was I doing down there? Trust me, the ATMs were open.

I've also used them at both airports and in Zona Rosa, and lived to tell about it. LOL!!!

Are the airport ones open 24/7? I honestly don't know because I've never been at the airport that late. But there are many ATMs that get closed after a certain hour. The ones in my gf's conjunto close at 11, for example.

Try Queens I would suggest coming to Jackson Heights, Queens along Roosevelt Ave. or 37th Ave. There's an exchange at Delgado Travel for example. You'll have more of a choice of which has the best rates since there are many places to go.

Airport currency exchange If you use the currency exchange in the Miami Airport, you will find that you got screwed, when you get to Colombia. Put "currency calculator" in google, and you will find the latest exchange rates for any currency in the world against any other currency.
