I think u got some bum info I just got back from my first tip to col. and had a blast.
We took the "super" line on Occidente lines. Was about 15 U.S., was very comfortable w/ a not too shabby lunch. About 5 or 6 hours from Per to Mde. We enjoyed Mde alot more, didn't think there was too much to Pereira. Also, we flew from Mde to Cgt via Bog. for 75 U.S. one way, so the price you have seems high. If you have to go to Bog. your probably just as good going by bus.

The bus is ok, done the trip and haven't heard of any problems in a longggg time. Take it during the daytime for extra safety.

relax and enjoy the cheap bus ride don´t waste your cash flying, the one way fare on the top bus line is $30,000 pesos, takes 4-5 hours. as for safety don´t be paranoid, i just went from Santa Marta to Medellin on an overnight bus, 16 hours, cost $70,000 pesos, no problemo.

Go ahead, take the bus Bus is cheap and secure. Don't think it twice. Flota de Occidente buses take you in 5 hours from pereira to medellin for around 30.000 pesos. Take the lunch they offer as optional, it's nice. Travel during the day time. Enjoy the landscape of La Pintada and Alto de Minas.
