When you’re hailing your cab to the hotel, make sure to specify you’re going to the Estelar BOCAGRANDE (not manzanillo).

Normal 4 person taxi price to hotel should be between $5-$10 (20,000-25,000 COP).

There’s a money exchange counter in the airport after you’ve left customs (no ATM).


If you’re a non-Colombian, here’s the link for info on how to get your VAT tax refund: https://www.dian.gov.co/Viajeros-y-Servicios-aduaneros/Documents/ABC-Vat-Refund-To-Foreign-Tourists.pdf

 Be prepared that you may experience long wait times at customs 😭 (unfortunately no way around it- trust me, my mom has tried) so make sure to go to the bathroom before you deplane (but there are bathrooms in the line too).
