Well, it is a little over an hour from the airport and about about an hour-and-a-half from Cali... I have never taken a taxi to Tulua, but I imagine it is not cheap - probably 100 mil or more - it is 40 mil to the airport. A bigger concern for me would be traveling that road in a taxi - it is not the safest...

I would take the shuttle from the aiport to the bus terminal in Palmira. From there you should easily be able to catch a bus to Tulua.

An important factor here is ,what time do you arrive in Cali?

My suggestion is for you to take the shuttle or cab to the terminal and then take a bus that'll take you to Tuluá. It's a 1-1½ hour drive and the buses stop at 8PM. Once you get there, take a cab to your girlfriend's, it's not a bad drive at all but you have to make it during the day, not at night. Don't go to Palmira, it'll be too complicated that way.

My husband is also from Tuluá and oddly enough he is from the same barrio, Maracaibo. =D

I drove through Tulua on the way to Cali just over a year ago....it looked like a safe little town....its on the main highway from Bogotá to Cali so don't see a problem for security unless it has changed much....its about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from the cali airport depending on traffic...and i would travel during the day also

listo

I would just add, the two options you have,take shuttle to either Palmira or Cali,cost 3500 cop...you can get buses or taxi collectivos(sharing with 3 or 6 persons depending on car) from either. Car is a quicker but a bit more expensive...if you are a happy traveller go to Palmira first as its only a hour journey from there. Bus cost about 8,000 car about 14,000 depending on company...as said ,not a night trip and last bus is 8pm from Cali 8:30 Palmira

I tell ya, there is almost no information on Tulua on the internet, very very few sites... anyway. Weird trip,

Good: get randomly upgraded to first class on way to panama Bad: turned into a cluster with my flight from JFK being 1.5 hours late, I missed the connection in panama, Good: they rescheduled me through bogota, Bad: That flight was late as well, Good: I found someone that wanted to share a taxi to Tulua, Bad: turned out to be 160,000 pesos for us both ouch! I was supposed to get in at 12:30 instead got here about 730 pm oh well.

So I am here at thier little internet shop, waiting for my girl to get back from palmira, should be another 10 minutes. Diana, thanks again even though I ended up with a taxi, it was getting late and I didnt want to miss them if they went out for dinner and disco.
