Transportation from the City Center to Cartagena Rafael Nunez International Airport
It takes about 20 minutes to get to Rafael Nunez Airport, which is 6 km from Cartagena city center. The most affordable means of transportation for this is the bus numbered T102. Orange and white buses run to the airport every 15-20 minutes from the stops in Parque Apolo, San Diego or Teatro Heredia in the city center.

Since Colombia uses Uber, you can easily book a ride to your hotel using the app to get to Cartagena Airport. Thus, you can choose how much you will pay and how you will go by car. In addition, it costs almost the same price to take a taxi to Cartagena Airport by turning any of the regular taxis from the road. However, it may be wiser to agree a price with the driver before setting off.
It is also useful to be careful about people who are asked for tips by picking up and carrying the luggage of tourists at the airport without asking as soon as they get out of the taxi.
Apart from taxis and buses, private transfers can be arranged by making a reservation in advance. It is possible to arrange transfers from both local companies and well-known tour sites. Prices vary depending on the vehicle chosen. To go to Cartagena Airport, the private transfer vehicle picks up passengers directly from the hotel lobby at the desired time.
Transportation from El Alto International Airport to the City Center
Although its official name is El Alto International Airport, it is also known as La Paz Airport. The main airport of the city of La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. It is accepted as the highest international airport in the world with its 4 thousand 61 meters high position.

Another economical option is the city minibuses departing from the airport. It is useful to know that these minibuses can charge both you and your luggage.

In order to find the minibuses, you must go out from the floor and find the man holding the sign that says "Aeropuerto", that is, the airport.
If you are looking for a more comfortable option than public transportation or minibus, you can use the taxis you can find at the airport 24/7.
