 tile mural of the airport
building in San Andrés by mircaskirca
The owner of the homestay in the village of San Luis where I was going to stay, she was supposed to wait for me at the airport with her taxi driver friend. But she did not come. Later she explained that she confused the dates. It was in fact very tricky as the date of my departure differed from the date of my arrival.
While I was waiting for my transportation to San Luis a local tourist agent offered me to join another passenger in a shuttle van which was COP 20.000 (December 2008). She knew the place and they delivered me right to the door (we had to wake up the owner). I was really happy not to be alone in the middle of the night.

 Coming from Guapi to Cali by MalenaN
The flight to Guapi took about 35 minutes and onboard a small sandwich and something to drink was served. In Guapi we all were registered in a book by a military and we got our luggage. Then the gates were unlooked and we could leave the terminal. As I was on my way to Isla Gorgona I was met by a man from Aviatur (the company that organises the tours to Isla Gorgona) and so were to other persons. We were taken to a counter were we could confirm our return tickets. The other two persons had some trouble confirming their tickets, but Aviatur was going to solve the problem during the day.
It seems to be very common that the departure time for the flights between Cali and Guapi are changed. My plane from Guapi, back to Cali, was first leaving at 10.05, but some time before I heard it was leaving at 10.50. Before you check in your luggage you must open your bags for the military to have a quick look. There is a café in the airport where you can have a coffee while you are waiting. Leaving Guapi I had a very nice view over Guapi, the river and the ocean (with Isla Gorgona in the distance). In Cali we got the luggage quick and just outside the terminal was the bus for the bus terminal.
For the plane ticket Cali - Guapi - Cali I paid 393 564 pesos (July 2008). Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Airport is quite far away from the city, it will take you to get here at least 30-40 min. The building is modern and clean, but could benefit from a/c.
If you are a foreigner and have not had to buy a visa (such as a citizen from US), you will have to pay an exit tax at the airport prior to booking, about $25. To do that you will have to go to the second floor into the far corner where there is a sign "Guardia Civil". There you will find a cashier who will take your money and will give you a receipt. Take it to the airline counter when boarding.
Avianca generally has good service, very decent food and perhaps the best airline magazine I have seen (as long as you can read Spanish). Be sure to arrive early, such as at least 2 hours in advance for international flights. The lines are very long and inexplicably move VERY slow. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 View from the terminal by MalenaN
There are frequent buses going between Popayán and Cali. I was met outside the terminal by someone from a bus that was leaving within 5 minutes. The price for the ticket was 12 000 pesos (July 2008). It took 2,5 hours to Cali and there the bus stopped next to the taxi queue outside the terminal. I took a taxi from the terminal to Iguana and it was 5200 pesos. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Roundabout by MalenaN
I bought a ticket for Armenia for 20 000 pesos (July 2008). It was 12.40 and the bus was leaving at 13.00. I asked for an ATM, but was told I didn’t have time to go there as it was on the first floor and I had to be at the gate on the third floor well in time before the bus was leaving. At 13.10 we left Cali and 3,5 hours later we arrived in Armenia. Here I was lucky as there was an ATM just outside the terminal. After withdrawing money I went and looked for the bus to Salento. These buses are smaller and local and you buy the ticket on the bus. It was 3000 pesos. The bus left at 17.00 and it took 50 minutes to Salento. I asked to be dropped by the fire station in the beginning of the town, as it is closer to Mountain House. The end stop is the main square. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 San Antonio, Cali by mircaskirca
My flight to San Andres was at 10:30pm so I asked for the taxi to pick me up at 08:00pm. It took about 15 minutes to the bus terminal and costed 7.000 COP (December 2008). The taxi driver offered he could drive me to the airport for 40.000 COP and even 35.000 COP at the end, but I refused.
At the bus terminal I intended to take a minibus to the airport (which was 3.500 COP) but they told me it did not run at that hour anymore, and besides, it was Sunday. So I joined a long line of people waiting for the taxi. It took more than 15 minutes until it was my turn. The taxi driver wanted 40.000 COP to the airport but I negotiated for 35.000. So at the end I payed all together 42.000 COP from San Antonio neighbourhoood to the airport, which was a little more than the offer from the first driver and much more tiresome :( But I arrived to the airport on time, and then it was the most important :) Theme: Car/Motor Home

In Armenia I had to change for another bus to Cali. I went to Expreso Palmira office to buy the ticket. It was 20.000 COP (December 2008). They told me the mini bus was going to leave immediately but this was not completely true. It seemed like we were waiting for some more passengers. In the meantime the driver took a good care for the new bus that we were going to travel with. The journey took four hours.
From the bus terminal in Cali a taxi takes about 15 minutes (and costs 6.000 COP) to San Antonio, the colonial neighbourhood where Tostaky guesthouse was located. Theme: Bus

 The airport in Cali by MalenaN
There are buses running between the airport and the bus terminal every 10 minute during the day, so when I came back to Cali that is what I took. When you have got your luggage and walk out the door that is where the buses leave from. The bus between the airport and terminal took 30 minutes and it was 3500 pesos.
