What happens when you arrive at Bogota's airport?
You go through immigration with your passport and your Check-MIG, pick up your bags, clear customs and head out to your transfer or an authorized taxi.
How do you get around Bogota?
To get from the airport to your area, use a booked transfer, your hotel's transfer, an authorized taxi or a rental car. Once in the city, plan your days by area and explore La Candelaria, Usaquén or Parque de la 93 on foot.

El Dorado is inside the city, on the west side. Travel time depends on the time of day and where you're staying; if your hotel includes a transfer or you booked one, confirm it before you travel.
