Barrio Madrigal Villavicencio y dodne esta la kat1?

one of the most dangerous areas in Villavo is that barrio Brisas del guatiquia, even in the entrance to the area you will see either the police or the army there. it is oposite the hotel el delfin rosado you will see two police or army guys near there.

It is ridiculouis but a ticket will cost you around 250.000 pesos or more in economic class, bussines will be more expensive, this is with Aires but i know Satena is around the same, although satena sometimes do 30% discount for senior people and kids.

yes satena have new planes and yes one of them is the embraer 170. Aires i think is flying to curazao, panama, maracaibo, aruba apart from some home destinations, probably this is the one who is planing flights to miami

if you go by bus which they are very safe and very comfortable it will cost you 20.000 pesos one way.
La macarena (el cimarron), you can get the ticket at bogota bus terminal, the bus goes to Granada but will stop at the bus terminal in villavicencio
Los libertadores, sometimes depends the season, you can get the ticket at the bus terminal in bogota, sometimes you can't the only way is to wait for that bus outside the terminal, and you can get the ticket directly from them, the bus goes to Yopal it will go through to Villavo but won't stop at the terminal so you have to get off anywhere in the city, the same goes for Expreso sugamuxy.

Also you can go on taxy or vans the price is around the same although in low season you can bargain them and you can get them for around 17.000 cop

the Vans are the autollanos, expreso Bolivariano, etc.

you mean 300.000 cop!!!!! wow Robert ahora si como decimos en Colombia " te vieron la cara de gringo!!! no way i would have paid that money i would rather have waited until the bank holiday passed, this is the first time i heard someone paid that amount of money that was a big rip off!!!! i would say 30.000 was ok sometimes in a very busy weekend, my brother had to paid that amount a few weeks ago when was the feria of Catama, but over 30.000 no one would pay that. I would had take note of the bus driver and report it, that was abuse and taking advantage. never again pay that amount what a rip off!!!!

hotel don lolo
hotel maria gloria
hotel del llano

Hotel Villavicencio is nice but it is in town center and can be very noisy
Don Lolo maria gloria and El Llano are the the most popular, although you can find some other hotels in town center but again they can be very noisy and those street are very busy.

I would recomend the Hotel El Campanario but it is Top of the Range, wayyyyyyyyyyyy to expensive but very nice :))

yes expect to be very busy those days!! specially palm day.

what to do in Villavo? well apart from going to swimming pools or Balnearios, you can go horse riding, eat mamona o carne a la llanera in one the thousand estaderos in villavicencio, i would recomend La topochera y el cabestrero to me are the best places to eat Carne a la llanera o Mamona :)), you can go quad biking, paint balling, dancing, El 7 de agosto is the zona rosa of Villavicencio, also the two best nighclubs are in villavo Capachos and Kuarzo, for kids you can take them to El parque el sikuani, Los Ocarros ( it is a bioparque with the fauna from the llanos orientales)
another great place to go is El parque Agroecologico Merecure km 45 via puerto lopez the biggest park in South America, you can camp there but if you don't fancy there is also a hotel, you can practice aquatic sports, it has restaurants, a zoo and manmade beach (great park)

Villlavicencio is safe i find it safer than Bogota, the road to Villavo is militarised i have never had any problems coming from Bogota or viceversa and i have been coming late at night and driving, as i say the danger on that road is the landslide or those petrol tank drivers they are crazy!!!, i don't know about those folks being kidnapped never heard of it, maybe is your wife trying to scare you so you don't go jejej
