Convert BRL to COP at the rate that applied on any past day, and see how far a quoted rate sits from the real one.
Market rate · 23 October 2026
1 BRL = 626.24 COP
Mid-market spot. Banks and exchange houses pay less than this.
Against its own recent history, one Brazilian Real is 13.1% weaker against the Colombian Peso than it was a year ago, and 6.2% weaker than five years ago. Across ten years it is 32.8% weaker.
A rising number means one Brazilian Real buys more Colombian Peso than before. Which direction is good news depends entirely on which way you are converting.
Averaged over the last 10 years, BRL moved 11.3% against Colombian Peso in a typical year — a wide range, so the date you convert on genuinely changes what you receive. Its strongest year returned +42.5% and its weakest -19.5%.
Right now it sits 47.9% below its all-time high and 6.2% above its all-time low.

Each row is the rate on the same calendar date in that year, carried forward from the last trading day where markets were closed.
The rates on this page are mid-market spot rates. For Colombian invoices, customs declarations and tax filings the legally applicable figure is the TRM certified by the Superintendencia Financiera, which is a different number: it is calculated from the previous day's interbank trading, while the market rate moves continuously.
The two track each other closely but rarely match to the peso. Use the figures here for research and comparison, and take the TRM for the relevant date from the Superintendencia for anything official.
Every figure on this page is the mid-market rate: the midpoint of the wholesale market, and a price no retail customer is offered. Banks, card networks and remittance services quote you a rate below it and keep the difference. On a typical transfer that gap runs from well under 1% for the sharpest providers to 4% or more for an airport counter, and it is often the entire cost of the transaction even where the fee is advertised as zero.
The converter has a what-if box for exactly this. Enter the rate you were quoted and it shows the gap as a percentage and as an amount in Colombian Peso — which is usually a more sobering number than the percentage suggests.
Google shows an intraday quote that moves throughout the day. This page uses the daily close. A fraction of a percent between them is normal, and neither is wrong.
Yes — that is the point of the site. Open the converter, enter your amount, and set the date. It reaches back to 1 December 2003 for this pair.
Whichever rate your tax authority or accounting standard specifies, on the date the transaction occurred. Most require the official or closing rate for that day, not today's rate. In Colombia that is the TRM certified by the Superintendencia Financiera, not the mid-market figure shown here.
