Bogotá: the Andean capital where tourism out-earns coffee and coal

At 2,640 meters, Colombia's capital runs Latin America's busiest cargo port with runways, the world's biggest busway, and a metro finally rising on its viaduct. Record visitors, record receipts, and a table — Leo — that put Colombian biodiversity on the world's culinary map.

South America's highest-flying hub

Bogotá is the continent's great gateway story: 45 million passengers a year through El Dorado, two in five of Colombia's foreign guests landing here, and a visitor economy whose receipts have overtaken the country's flagship commodity exports. The hubs below map the machine — air, busway, and the rails now arriving.

Use the airport hub for El Dorado's geometry and the Avianca stopover, the bus hub for TransMilenio's rules and the Salitre terminal, the rail hub for the metro that opens in 2028 — and the arrivals and spending pages for why the world is suddenly coming.
