    Second that. Went to see the place as an option for my future accommodation, it's absolutely luxirious. More impressive yet than in the photos, the finishing is impeccable, especially considering the sloppy finishing that is so common in BsAs. All the contents - furniture, linens, kitchen...

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    I think so as well, it's too early into the process for them to be able to incorporate the residency info into this salad, but I believe they do have the ability to link your info to your CC ( between your passport and you DNI, your ID details are unique ). If or when they might try to do it...

    DNI for foreigners travelling within LATAM

    May I politely suggest that when people post 'facts' with great confidence they should quote the source of their information - such as 'personal experience including details and time frames' or a link to an official website. Not just in this thread, but in any discussion involving important...

    Limits on sale of tickets to exterior

    it's calm all right, but it's a tiny colonial village, after lying on Rodadero beach for a week you'll want to shoot yourself out of boredom. Colombian rental prices have always been very low, even in Medellin and thru Airbnb it's dirt cheap. The only exemption being Bogota. Life is much cheaper...

    Western Union money transfer

    they are betting on the agricultural dollar for their coffers - that explains the CCL in part and if the producers will indeed take adventure of the 30% of their income converted to dollars at a solidarity rate, a big chunk of those 'cheap' dollars will most probably end up on the black market...

    Western Union money transfer

    It's not the clients that are treated differently, it's the types of transactions. If you use debit or credit to send money, the transaction is in real time and the rate is set at the moment you hit enter. There is no future adjustment as the transaction is completed right then and there. When...

    Western Union money transfer

    Where is the cheapest place to buy bulk grains and beans?

    yep, that's why I buy in these place - I know the producers for more than a decade and i trust them - they are not in in for money and they barely make the ends meet, but they believe in health benefits of it and try to reserve the nature.

    Where is the cheapest place to buy bulk grains and beans?

    it's not a small organic shop per se, it's a small corner rented by about 4 or 5 different sellers. some of them are cooperatives that bring and sell their own produce and dairy / meat a few days a week and others buy directly from producers in bulk and sell in bulk, so bypassing the middleman...
