Altitude:<\/strong> Bogot\u00e1 is 8,660 feet (2,640 meters) above sea level.

Ground Transportation<\/h3>\n

Important Notice Regarding Uber in Colombia<\/strong>: Uber has an ambiguous legal status in Colombia. It is highly recommended to choose Uber XL (or premium) as it is the only Uber service permitted by the Colombian government. The use of other Ubers or similar ride-sharing services is considered illegal; however, these services continue to be widely utilized by both locals and tourists<\/p>\n

What This Means for You<\/strong>: Uber vehicles in Colombia lack Uber signage or stickers. Make sure to confirm your Uber with license plate number. When using Uber, it’s common to sit in the front passenger seat<\/p>\n

Plan Accordingly<\/strong>: It’s important to be mindful that certain areas, especially those near airports or major transport hubs, may exhibit heightened sensitivity or restrictions regarding the use of Uber<\/p>\n

To\/From Airport:<\/strong> You can get a Licensed Taxi at the airport, which will cost approximately $75.000 COP ($19 USD) to the conference hotel<\/p>\n

Optional Van Service:<\/strong> We can help accommodate a van for people arriving at similar times. You will have to let the event organizers know<\/p>\n

General:<\/strong>\u00a0Otherwise it is recommended that you have a taxi called for you (e.g., by hotel or restaurant staff), or use an app for the local taxi companies (e.g., Tappsi)[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”3%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”3%” top_padding_tablet=”3%” constrain_group_3=”yes” bottom_padding_tablet=”3%” top_padding_phone=”3%” constrain_group_5=”yes” bottom_padding_phone=”3%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
