Colombia uses the Colombian Peso (COP) as its currency. Travelers often find it convenient to use cards in major cities and tourist areas, but carrying cash is recommended for smaller towns, markets, and places where card acceptance may be limited.
In Medellín, travelers should be cautious of petty theft, especially in crowded areas and on public transportation. Common scams include overcharging by unofficial taxi drivers and distractions used to steal valuables. It's advisable to use registered taxi services or ride-hailing apps, avoid displaying expensive items, and stay in well-populated, well-lit areas to minimize risks.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
