Important access details
Airport timing and hotel access work together
Flight pickup
Your arrival details guide the service
Provide the correct airline, flight number and arrival time. Bukap uses this information to coordinate the meeting instructions and respond to schedule changes.
Tayrona access
Daylight arrival is strongly recommended
Some remote hotels cannot be reached directly by the main vehicle. Arriving before approximately 5:45 p.m. makes a roadside handoff or hotel connection easier and smoother.
