Colombia transportation

Hey all,

I am a New Yorker and going to Villa and onto tyrona and coastal regions with family this August.... I have been to Colombia a total of about 12 weeks before this and now bring family that has never been!!! They are nervous no matter what I tell them. Anyhow, the trips centerpiece is el matrimonio - I am getting married to a Canadian with Cali roots.

Wre are heading coastal after the wedding. I am trying to get a bus that can take at least 15 people from Villa to the Coast. Do you think that is possible? Does anyone know of a way to oragnize that from the states or from an agency in Villa or Bogota? We are also looking to rent a bus to transport people from Bog to Villa De Leyva as well.... all information is appreciated.

Many thanks,

Stuart

Hi there. You can absolutely hire a bus/van to transport you about the country. When you get there just begin calling a few transport companies and getting quotes. When we travel we hire a 12 passenger mini-van and a driver for a few days to drive us from Cali to Ibague/Giradot. It cost about $600 for 2-3 days. The company will even bring the van over so you can see it beforehand. We do this to make sure it is in good condition with new tires etc. My family also rents a 27 passenger van & driver to pick us up from the airport or when we go sightseeing. I can't remember the name of the company we used but I'm sure you can find one once your there. Good luck!

Hola!

My GF's cousin's hubby runs a bus operation in the Santa Marta area. They are originally from Cali and he retired from Bavaria Brewery in Cali. I can check prices for you, since he does just what you are needing.
