I was in bogota last week and I was told by a local that there is a brand new road opened up that takes 12 hrs to reach cartagena. I hope this is true.

As far as I know only two ways from Bogotá/ Medellin/Ciencelejo over to Cartagena and the other through Bogotá/Buca/Cienaga/Barranquilla to Cartagena. Peope we know like the Bogotá/Cienaga route the best. Twenty hours about right.

You can take the troncal del Magdalena instead of going through the mountanious Tunja/Bucaramanga route.
It`s Bogota/Honda/Barrancabermeja/Cienaga/Barranquilla...
I don`t know if there are bus routes that way though

Democratic party or Republican party is fine......as long as theres a party!!!!!!!

Yes Vic, but at least buses take the outside loop (anillo vial) so they don`t come into the city. They still have to deal with construction from Piedecuesta to Florida though.

most of the busus, like Berlinas del Fonce, ecopetran and Brasilia are taken the route gator mention, Bogota/Barranquilla/cienaga/Cartagena. they do go through Bucara.. anymore

there was another route fro aguachica but the driver told us it was dangerous and they were not allowed to go through that route none of the buses, I WENT TWICE TO CARTAGENA BY BUS AND BOTH JOURNEYS WERE THE SAME ROUTE

hehe Jorge..well my mother told me about this, when were booking the return tickets from Cartagena, i was getting feed up travelling 20 hours by bus, and my mum wanted to avoid at all cost travelling by plane, she hates flying, but i gave her not alternative, so she told me about the discounts reluctantly, she also said Satena does the same.
