USD to COP Exchange Rate History — Colombia
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Colombian Peso parallel (black market) rate moved from about 4,000 COP on Jun 5, 2026 to 3,548 COP on Jun 6, 2026 — a change of -11.3%. Across that window the Colombian Peso strengthened against the dollar, trading between a low of 3,548 and a high of 4,000 COP, averaging 3,563 COP per US dollar.
The Colombian peso floats, so its parallel premium is usually modest and widens mainly when global risk sentiment turns.
How to read the COP rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many COP it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Colombian Peso is losing value (more COP per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (4,000) and the low (3,548) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 1.4% around the average.
What has moved the Colombian Peso recently?
In Colombia, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as oil-price moves, global risk sentiment, remittance flows. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Bank of the Republic (Banco de la República) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical COP rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to COP page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
