How To Travel
For those traveling from abroad, the best way to travel to Colombia is to arrive at the Bogota airport, El Dorado. Many flights from the US and Europe offer a variety of airfare options. We recommend booking your flights a few months in advance to avoid high prices.
We're happy to provide recommendations for various travel routes to optimize both cost and time efficiency for your journey.
Considering the considerable distance for many travelers, we suggest an ideal stay in Colombia of around one week to allow ample time for exploring the country.
Our preferred cost-efficient route involves purchasing two separate flights. Firstly, from any USA city to Miami, and secondly, from Miami to Bogotá with Delta operated by LATAM.
Alternatively, the second-best route prioritizes time efficiency. opt for a single flight from any city un the USA to Bogotá, albeit a bit more expensive than the previous option. This choice typically results in better layovers, with just one stop.
For your convenience, we recommend the following websites for booking:
