Departure fee for overland travel to Colombia

Country forums / South America / Venezuela

It says in the LP that there is a fee for leaving Venezuela over the border crossing between Maracaibo and Santa Marta (can“t remeber right now what the name of the colombian town right next to the border is) but in the LP it is in US-dollars. Does anyone know the current fee in Bolivares?

The name of this colombian border town is Maicao and the departure fee was 46 Bolivares Fuertes last Thursday. I left Coro in Venezuela at 7 a.m. and arrived in Santa Marta in Colombia at 8 p. m..
