How this is calculated
A US baseline of 90, 210 and 450 USD a day for the three tiers is multiplied by the price level of Colombia (0.3781564117330556, World Bank 2025) and by a city-size factor of 1.3, then rounded to the nearest 5 dollars. Local amounts use the World Bank exchange rate of 4053.13583333333 COP to the dollar, rounded to two significant digits.
These are modeled estimates, not quoted prices. Read the full formula on the methodology page.

Where the money goes
Across the three cost tiers, most of the difference comes from lodging and dining choices rather than transport, which stays cheap at every level. A budget day near $45 covers a hostel bed, simple local meals, and public transit, while the mid-range figure of $105 buys a private hotel room and restaurant dining, and the luxury tier of $220 adds higher-end hotels, taxis, and paid experiences. Over a full week these differences compound to $315 for a budget trip, $735 for mid-range, and $1,540 for luxury.
The cheapest, quietest stretch of the year falls in March, April, and July, when hotel rates and demand for services tend to ease compared with the busier months. These daily and weekly figures are estimates based on typical spending patterns, and actual costs will vary with individual choices in lodging, dining, and activities.
Cheapest months by climate demand: Mar, Apr and Jul.
