What the numbers mean
- Currency: All figures are in US dollars. Colombia uses pesos (COP); we use roughly USD 1 = COP 4,000 as of 2026, and the rate moves.
- Accommodation: Hostel dorm beds cost approximately $9-21 a night as of 2026. Private doubles in Bogota or Medellin run about $40-70, and Cartagena's Old City costs 30-50% more than Getsemani.
- Food: A corrientazo set lunch costs approximately $2-3.50. A mid-range main course runs about $9-16, and Cartagena and Salento charge more.
- Activities: Coffee farm tours cost approximately $20-38 and a guided Cocora Valley hike about $15-23. Prices vary by operator, so treat these as estimates.
- Transport: A metro or TransMilenio ride costs about COP 3,200 (under $1). Intercity buses run roughly $15-30 and domestic flights $50-90 if booked late.
- Flights: Not included, so budget separately.
