El Dorado International Airport (Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado), Avenida El Dorado (Calle 26) s/n, Localidad Fontibón, Bogotá D.C., Cundinamarca, Colombia
El Dorado International Airport (BOG), opened in 1959, is Colombia’s largest airport and a key gateway for flights across Latin America and beyond, with two main passenger terminals and one of the region’s busiest cargo operations. Located roughly 15 km west of downtown Bogotá, El Dorado offers convenient connections via the city’s TransMilenio BRT network, dedicated airport shuttles, taxis and highway links — typical transfer times run 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. The airport is a primary hub for Avianca and serves as a base for LATAM Colombia and Wingo. Travelers will find generally affordable food and transport options compared with major international hubs, with a mix of budget and mid-range services on site.

Pick up pesos from roughly two dozen ATMs spread across both terminals, or use about a dozen Global Exchange desks in arrivals and departures. USD and EUR are accepted, but airport rates run 7–12% worse than in the city—take a small withdrawal here, then exchange or withdraw more at reputable casas de cambio in Bogotá to dodge fees and queues.
Head straight for the walk‑through Duty Free Americas in Terminal 1’s international B‑gates, with more outlets by the gates and a handy arrivals shop right after passport control. Beauty, whisky and Colombian coffee lead the lineup, usually 10–25% cheaper than Bogotá mall prices, with hours stretching from early morning to late night (some 24/7).
From quick arepas and specialty coffee to sit-down Colombian classics, El Dorado packs roughly 60 places to eat across Terminal 1, plus a smaller lineup in Terminal 2. Expect coffee around COP 9,000–15,000, snacks COP 10,000–18,000, and meals COP 35,000–65,000—about 15–25% more than in the city.
Feeling unwell or need last‑minute meds? El Dorado’s 24/7 first‑aid team covers both terminals, while pharmacies in Terminal 1 (before and after security) stock essentials, travel kits, and COVID self‑tests; basic help is free, medicines and lab tests are paid.
Stash your bags at the staffed “Custodia de Equipaje” counter in Terminal 1’s Arrivals hall—open 24/7—so you can explore Bogotá hands‑free; rates are reasonable and oversize items are accepted. Bring photo ID for check‑in and choose hourly or per‑day pricing to match your layover or multi‑day plans.
Slip into one of roughly eight lounges at El Dorado — including a 24/7 option on the international side — or retreat to quieter pier-end seating with fast Wi‑Fi and plenty of charging. Showers, comfy chairs, and real Colombian coffee await, with access via premium tickets, lounge passes, or paid entry.
