Due to strict legislation designed to prevent money-laundering, receiving advance payments in Colombia can be really difficult/ near impossible. Sorry! Cash on the day is usually fine but when we require deposits or pre-payment to confirm reservations 
we mostly use Paypal which is linked to my personal US bank account.. this is the link

Regarding fees.. for friends and family domestic (US bank account) transfers there's no additional fees. If it's a payment for goods or services PayPal charges 2.9% plus 30c per transaction, or more if you are paying via credit/debit card.

​I can also accept venmo in some cases. Send us an email to discuss info@cartagenaconnections.com
