How to arrive in Tunja - 43rd ASOCOPI Annual Conference
From El Dorado Airport to Tunja

1.     Take a taxi from the airport to the “Terminal de Transportes
de Bogotá”. Please go to the taxi booth information and ask for the
ticket taxi ride. It will show explicitly the amount of money you have
to pay to the taxi driver. The price for this ride is about
18.000
pesos.

2.     Once you are located at “Terminal de Transportes de
Bogotá”, look for the
Module 3 which is the color RED.

3.     Look for the “Libertadores” or “Concorde” bus line. They
are the most advisable to ride. They are big buses with a restroom
and TV. This ride costs
$ 15.000 pesos.

4.     Once you arrive at the “Terminal de Transporte de Tunja” go
upstairs and take a taxi in the taxi lane inside the Terminal.  The
taxi ride from the “Terminal” to UPTC costs around
4,000 pesos.
Anyway, the taxis in Tunja have a taximeter. It will show exactly in
pesos the amount of money you have to pay.

5.     The taxi driver has two ways to take you to the UPTC.  Please
advise him to take La COLINA; this way, the taxi will leave you
inside the UPTC campus right in front of the gate of the Central
Building (Building C). The second option is to ask the taxi driver to
leave you at the UPTC at the Pedestrian Bridge on Avenida Central
del Norte, but you have to cross the UPTC campus and look for the
Central Building (Building C).
