Let’s go to
COLOMBIA
Here you’ll find all of the information you’ll need to book your travel and lodging in Colombia.
Whether you’re just hopping down for The Big Weekend, or making us part of a larger adventure, we’re just grateful to have you. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or to confirm any details. We are here to help!
Airport Transportation
You’ll be flying to the El Dorado International Airport, and traveling to the B.O.G. Hotel in the Zona T neighborhood.
How to get from airport to hotel:
1. Get a yellow cab via Uber
Uber is common in Colombia, but you’ll want to stick to taxis for the airport, since Uber drivers often aren’t allowed to pick up there.
2. Use the taxi kiosk
We recommend using the in-airport taxi booth. Cash is preferred here (about 100,000COP), as is a good grasp of Español.
3. Contact us for private transport
We’re happy to schedule a pickup for large groups or just large bags if you need! Reach out to either of us; it’s no trouble.
We don’t recommend hailing a cab outside the airport, or haggling with strangers for a ride. Let us know if you need an assist!
Shuttles to
Villa de Leyva
Good news! We’ve already arranged for shuttles to take guests from Bogotá to Villa de Leyva on Friday, August 1 at 9am.
The shuttles will depart from the B.O.G. hotel, where we’ll be staying the night before.
Private transportation is available for anyone who can’t make the shuttle, or who needs special service. Contact us for details. We - in the strongest terms possible - do not recommend driving yourself.
A Note on Travel Time
Getting through Bogotá is…tricky, to put it mildly. So the journey will last between 3 and 4 hours, but includes a gorgeous drive through a scenic and historic stretch of the Andes Mountains, as well as a snack and restroom break.
Hotels in Villa de Leyva
The Hotel Plazuela de San Agustín will serve as our central meeting hub, and the location of the Farewell Brunch on Sunday. The grooms and their wedding party will be occupying the available rooms there. Here are some recommendations of where else to stay nearby!
Check-in Friday, August 1. Check-out Sunday, August 3.
La Casa del Árbol
A charming boutique hotel located just next door to our place. Highly recommended for being close to the action.
You’ll save 10% on your rate by booking through WhatsApp using the following number and mentioning “Fernando y Jake.” +57.317.227.3723
NOTE: The hotel has reserved the rest of their rooms for us, so the website will show no vacancy. You can still reach out with the code above, and they’ll move the booking to your name and arrange payment.
Casa Alcestre
A gorgeous hotel situated in the iconic plaza. (Its proximity to the square means that the nights can be a bit noisy, however.)
