To get around by cab, we recommend always using Apps and paying with the registered card or in Colombian pesos, if you have.

*We suggest you to activate the use of your cards abroad to avoid problems.

Where can I exchange dollars or other currencies to Colombian pesos?

In Bogota you can find different exchange houses. However, if your stay in Bogota is short we recommend you to change at the airport.

For those who have not been able to change before arriving at KPL, there will be the option to change dollars in the course, so you can move with Colombian pesos.
