IS IT SAFE TO TRAVEL TO COLOMBIA?
Colombia is generally a safe country to travel in. Here are some “pro-tips” for a smoother trip around Colombia:
1) Ask in advance for the price of items so that you are not sticker shocked. Pro tip: most times, prices are negotiable in the markets.
2) Credit cards work well, for the most part AMEX and Visa is accepted in most establishments.
3) Remember to carry cash (e.g. to pay taxis or tolls). In Colombia, the COP (Colombian Peso) is used as currency.
4) Be mindful of surroundings and avoid walking with your phone out.
5) Consider booking tours in advance or via the hotel.
6) If your cellphone plan does not include international service, purchase a prepaid SIM card for data (cheaper than international roaming and available in the airport and kiosks). International eSim services such as Holafly or Saily might also be a good option.
7) Leave your valuables in the hotel safe.
8) Always keep your bags and purses in sight.
9) Order taxis at the designated areas at the airport, at your hotel or via Uber. Do not hail your own cab off the street.
10) The Colombian version of Ubereats is Rappi. Download the app if you’d like anything (literally anything) delivered to your door.
11) You can reach the police on 113.

ARE KIDS WELCOME?
The little ones are near and dear to our heart. However, the reception and the party at the wedding venue are not kid friendly. If you have kids and you want to bring them, check in with the groom or bride.
ARE THE VENUES INDOORS OR OUTDOORS?
Most of our venues will have an indoor / outdoor concept. As always there is a chance of rain but our wedding planner will be prepared in that event!
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Temperature in Villa de Leyva 25°C during the day, 13°C at night. We recommend guests bring a jacket or sweater for the evening. The town has cobblestone streets, it is very important to bring shoes that you can comfortably walk in. You’ll find specific event attire in the schedule tab.
