Ride to/from the airport is 50,000 COP or you can get a private taxi for 55,000

It is about a 45 minute ride so getting a friendly PBH'er to come and get you may be a stretch.

There is a shuttle for 4,000 pesos that drops you off near el centro on cll 53 but only do it during the daytime. You can take the metro or a cab from there..

Sandman, is the shuttle FROM the airport, from the terminal, or goes back and forth?

Which bus terminal?

The cost should be the same from either.

North and South....so, yes.

The "lovemedellin website" is a piece of crap made by some moron who has only been to Medellin once...you'd be better off reading the Lonely Planet advice from a guy who never even came here!

jorge...don't know where you are in medallo, but flota bernal which hangs out in poblado at the park and also in envigado. any of their drivers can take you to the airport. it's kinda short notice, but when you're familiar with things there are group taxis that cost from 5-7 thousand pesos per person. getting to the bus terminals is much more pain in the ass than it's worth. just grab a hak.

i have personal drivers that do that for me but right now i'm in florida and don't have a clue what their numbers are. good luck.

yes, the bus goes to the airport from centro also.

it leaves just down the street from the botero plaza hotel. you can get there via the metro from either bus terminal (thought it's about a 10 minute walk to the poblado station from the southern terminal)

Which airport? There are two.
Which bus terminal? There are two.

If it is from Terminale del Norte to Aeropuerto Jose Maria Cordoba, you can take a shuttle bus which runs between the two taking the Autopista to Guarne (6,000?).

If it is from Teminale del Norte to Aeropuerto Holaya Herrera, just take the metro to El Poblado (1,300) and then a taxi (minimum fare 3,500) to the Airport.

If it is from Terminale del Sur to Aeropuerto Jose Maria Cordoba, just take a taxi to San Diego (again minimum fare 3,500) and then a "coletivo" (12,000) : to the airport.

If it is from Terminale del Sur to Aeropuerto Holaya Herrera, just cross the road and you're there! Cost 0 pesos :)

The bus to/from Guarne is 2500 pesos. You can catch it or get off at Terminal del Norte. It drops you off a few blocks from the airport entry.

Well, that must certainly be confusing eh?

Yes, the shuttle leaves from the Cordoba (international airport) terminal and drops you off at Calle 53. You can also extend to the north bus terminal which is located at the Caribe Metro station. From there you can take the metro and a cab to wherever you need to go.

you can also catch a bus or hitch hike behind centro comercio san diego on the las [palmas road. buses go everywhere from there. too, if hitch hiking just tell em you want to go to the airport or as close as possible. the bus from san diego to llano grande is about 4,000. then at the airport turn off, another 1,000 up the hill to the glorietta. then it's about a 3/4 mile walk into the airport. as i said, unless you're broke, it's easier to catch a hak
