Traveling in Colombia is an exciting adventure, with diverse landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant cities. Here’s a guide on how to travel around the country effectively:

Best Time to Visit

• Weather
  Colombia’s climate varies by region, but the best time to visit is generally during the dry seasons from December to March and July to August.

Getting There

• Flights
  Major cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena are well-connected by international flights. Consider flying into Bogotá, as it’s a central hub for domestic travel. I would recommend to fly to Cartagena and travel your way South in the country. 

• Buses
  Colombia has an extensive bus network that connects cities and towns. While long-distance travel can take time, it’s often a budget-friendly option.

Transportation options

• Domestic Flights
  For longer distances, domestic airlines (like Avianca, LATAM, and Viva Air) offer quick flights between major cities and popular tourist destinations.

• Buses
  Companies like Expreso Bolivariano, Flota La Macarena, and Coomotor offer comfortable long-distance bus services. Buses often have reclining seats and sometimes include meals. Book your bus easily through www.busbud.com

• Taxis and Ride-Sharing
  In cities, taxis are widely available, and services like Uber and Didi operate in major urban areas. Always specify your destination and ask for the price before getting into the car. This way, you can negotiate the fare upfront to avoid any surprises later.

• Public Transport
  Cities like Bogotá have a reliable public transport system, including buses and a TransMilenio system, which is a bus rapid transit network.
