The question always arises: how much money should we take with us ?
When your trip is over and your accommodations are closed, what’s left are basically outings for entertainment, small items like phone chargers if you forgot, taxis if needed, and meals that aren’t included.
אWe recommend taking an amount of money that will provide security for the first few days of the trip, in addition to cash and a credit card with which you can withdraw money during the trip according to your needs.
For the worriers among us, it is advisable to take an extra credit card and put it in a separate place so that if, God forbid, one is lost, there will be an extra card for safety.
(Those who do not have an additional card can go to the post office to purchase a prepaid card, deposit cash into the card, and use it here in Colombia anywhere.
Don’t worry, there are ATMs in all cities and almost all destinations in the country where you can withdraw cash with the credit cards you have in Israel.
There is no need to take a large amount of cash. It is better to have your mind focused on the trip than on worrying about the large amount of money you took.
So if you are a solo traveler, $400 – $500 will be enough to easily get you through the first few days of the trip, and you can withdraw on credit later as needed.
If you are a family, $800 – $1000 will definitely be enough for you.
