Will be going for 12 days mid November and I am wondering about the availability and reliability of bank machines in Cartagena. Is it easy to exchange travellers checks in US currency? I do not want to haul around a bunch of cash for obvious reasons.
Bank machines or travellers checks in Cartagena

There are plenty of ATMs and banks in Cartagena that are safe and reliable, and much easier then travelers checks.
