Getting from Medellín's airport to the city center

Medellín is served by José María Córdova International Airport (MDE), located 29 km southeast of the city center in the municipality of Rionegro. The airport sits at a higher elevation in the mountains, requiring travelers to descend into the Aburrá Valley to reach downtown Medellín. Airport transfers to city center destinations include authorized taxis, ride-hailing apps, shared colectivos, and private transfer services. Journey times vary significantly based on traffic conditions, particularly during rush hours when the winding mountain road can become congested.

Notes:

  • Prices in COP (Colombian Pesos); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • The route between the airport and Medellín involves a winding mountain road; journey times can double during peak hours.
  • Authorized taxis operate with fixed fares from the airport; purchase tickets at the official taxi booth inside arrivals.
  • Ride-hailing apps work at the airport but drivers may ask you to meet at a designated pickup area.
  • Colectivos depart when full and drop passengers at various points in the city, including El Poblado and downtown.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
