Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Zipaquirá is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Bogotá Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Bogotá Airport (BOG)
El Dorado International Airport (BOG) lies in Fontibón about 15 km west of central Bogotá, 16 km from La Candelaria and 60 km from Zipaquirá, with a drive of 30 to 60 minutes to most of the city.
A little knowledge of Bogotá Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá drive begins.
Searches for "BOG to Zipaquirá" or "BOG airport transfer" land here for a reason: BOG is the airport code for Bogotá Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Zipaquirá.
Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá at a glance

Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Bogotá Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá?
Travellers searching for "Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá is known before you land.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Zipaquirá involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Zipaquirá, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Bogotá Airport runs mainly into Bogotá itself: from the airport, TransMilenio feeder buses and the city's public transport run to the centre but take time and need changes with luggage; taxis queue at the terminal; a pre-arranged private car meets you inside arrivals and takes you straight to the hotel, which is simpler for families, late arrivals and day trips to Zipaquirá, Guatavita or Villa de Leyva. Reaching Zipaquirá from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
If you are weighing the Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.
About Zipaquirá
Zipaquirá, the salt town north of Bogotá, lies about 60 km north of Bogotá Airport and about 50 km from the centre. Zipaquirá is a colonial town on the Cundinamarca plateau, best known for its Salt Cathedral, built inside a working salt mine about 180 m underground. A path of fourteen chapels for the Stations of the Cross leads to a vast central nave with a lit cross, and the Salt Park above has gardens and exhibits about salt mining. The town's central plaza, with its stone cathedral and market, is a pleasant place for lunch. The visit usually takes half a day from Bogotá, and the tunnels are cool, so a light jacket helps.
Things to do in Zipaquirá
The reasons most visitors come to Zipaquirá: Salt Cathedral, Stations of the Cross in the mine, Salt Park and Colonial central plaza. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.
Bogotá itself is within reach for a day: Zipaquirá Salt Cathedral, Guatavita Lagoon and Candelaria street art - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Meeting your driver at Bogotá Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Bogotá Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Bogotá Airport.
Our vehicles for the Zipaquirá transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Bogotá Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Zipaquirá transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

Good to know before you land at Bogotá Airport
Give the driver the full hotel name and address, allow generous time for the airport run, keep valuables out of sight in La Candelaria, and take it easy on the first day because of the altitude.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Bogotá Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.

The same service runs the other way. For a Zipaquirá to Bogotá Airport transfer we collect you from your hotel at an agreed time, with a comfortable margin for check-in and security at Bogotá Airport, and the driver helps with the luggage at both ends. Book both directions together and the desk keeps them on one confirmation.
Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Zipaquirá transfers
We run airport transfers in dozens of cities, and the Bogotá Airport to Zipaquirá route follows the same simple promise as every other: one fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed in writing; a driver who tracks your flight and meets you at arrivals; a vehicle matched to your group and your luggage; and a desk that answers. It is the way we would want to arrive ourselves.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
