Note that the Dollar is making gains on the Euro big time right now. From a 63 cent bottom now pushing 70 cents.

Also note the EURO is also showing gains against the colombian peso, not just the dollar.

On the street? If you're desperate to be completely screwed over with the exchange rate there are lots of banks and cambios that are happy to take your cash.

Be smart, use an ATM.

Acuerpado... I just sold my truck here in Medellin and have a large stash of COP I need to change to USD before the end of November so i can take money back to the US. Let me know if you are looking to buy COP, and I will give you a better rate than the exchange houses.

No. That's why people are saying to use ATMs.
