Is Colombia an expensive country to visit? What are the costs of travelling around Colombia?
Colombia
is one of the least expensive countries to visit. A couple travelling
on a tight budget, booking cheap accommodation and eating in cheap
local restaurants could conceivably budget on spending $20-$25 per day
each.
Compared to other countries, travelling
around Colombia costs about as much as travelling around Peru or
Ecuador, but is less expensive than Brazil or Venezuela.
In major cities such as Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena
budget travellers will find many hostels offering dorm rooms.
Accommodation in smaller towns is generally cheap in the first place,
and restaurants throughout Colombia have set meals that are often
surprisingly good value.
Having said it's perfectly feasible to go wild with your money and book upmarket luxury hotels in Colombia. See the section on tailor made and luxury tours for advice.
