hiring a driver to Andres Carne De Res

I finally plan to make the trip to Andres Carne De Res this Friday. I am looking for a driver for me and three of my friends. The best price I have found is 213.000. This is for the round trip drive from Bogota and having the driver stick around for 6 hours. Does anyone know if this price can be beat?

Also, I know the tab is going to be hefty. Can you use a credit card at Andres? What kind of bill should each person expect?

That sounds very high to me.
Expect about 50,000 COP per person,
I like El Humero in Chia, the owner used to be at Andres, 35,000 per person there.

This is the reason many people come here for our resturants, Whole mojarra,( Baked, Grilled, Fried or in sauce), Pork loin, Chorazo, or CHicken breast, or any combination of the 3,With side dishes $12,000 COP Your choice. Large servings too. A recent Birthday celebration (mine) with 9 adults and 4 chidren. Drinking refago (sp) by the pitcher, or Natural lemonaid, kicked off with the best arepas in Colombia total $140,000

Why don't you just take a taxi there for 30,000 or 35,000 k and then get one back for maybe a little more (you will be able to find one who can enter back into Bogota without too much difficulty).

Are there an abundance of taxis leaving there at 3am? I would hate to be stranded.

Someone may be able to give an update as my last time there was over a year ago; when I went, there were an abundance of taxis however not all were able to enter Bogota. I didn't have too much trouble, but did have to go to a few before i found one.

Sorry I forgot - there is a company that puts on minibuises there with various takeouts and pick-ups. Can't remember the name but I wrote about it a few years ago on here. Their office is just down from p 93. If you do a search or maybe ring Andres they can give you the name / number.

It wasnt organised or run by Andres, however I thought they would know about it. I found the old link and it was

www.rutasana.com

Seems that it no longer works though; there was another company who did it as well.
