AEROPUERTO INTERNACIONAL JOSÉ MARÍA CÓRDOVA
Medellín's main airport hosts national and international flights (Madrid, Miami, Quito, Lima, Panama...). The airport is 28 km from Medellín in the town of Río Negro.
Reach Medellín by bus from the airport. Buses leave every 20 minutes from 3:30 to 22:00 (with luggage compartment). Get off like most people at the San Diego shopping mall stop, then take a yellow taxi (reelers with a "personal autorizado" t-shirt are waiting on the spot to catch you a taxi, small parts welcome). Bus fare: $10,000. Count on around $8-10,000 to reach El Poblado, Laureles or the centre by taxi. Count between 1 hour and 1 hour and a half by car in total, depending on traffic conditions.
By taxi from the airport to your hotel, it takes about 1 hour, $75,000 (fixed rate in 2019). By collective taxi (white), count $18,500 per person (departure when the taxi has 4 passengers on board). If you are in a hurry, you pay for the seats of the missing passengers.To reach the airport from Medellín, same options. Individual taxi ($75,000, plan a minimum of 1 hour from El Poblado). Option two, take a taxi or Uber to the San Diego San Diego Shopping Center gas station (around $7-9,000). The airport's collective taxis are waiting ($16,000 per person, the taxi leaves with 4 passengers on board. If you are in a hurry, you can pay for the missing places).
By bus: departure next to Hotel Nutibara in the centre, or at the San Diego shopping centre stop a little above the petrol station (the bus can be full depending on the time of day). It takes about 50 min-1 hour from San Diego, $10,000. Plan well in advance during rush hours.
