✈️ From Germany to Bogotá: the best flight connections

The first leg of your journey takes you to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia - well connected, safe to travel around and the ideal starting point for our coffee trips.

Direct flights from Germany

If you like it comfortable:

• Lufthansa and SWISS offer direct flights from Frankfurt (FRA) to Bogotá (BOG) several times a week.
• 🕓 Flight time: approx. 11 hours
• 💸 Price: from approx. 1,200 € return flight

Alternatives with a stopover

You can also travel stress-free with a short stopover - e.g. with:

• Iberia via Madrid
• KLM via Amsterdam
• Air France via Paris
• Air Europa via Madrid

These airlines fly from many German cities (e.g. Hamburg, Cologne, Berlin, Munich) and get you to Bogotá in 13-16 hours. The flights are usually available daily and offer good connection times.

Our tip:
It is best to book around two months in advance. Tuesdays and Sundays are particularly good days to fly.

Go straight on or discover Bogotá?
After your arrival in Bogotá, you can either take the domestic flight directly to Pitalito - or take some time to get to know Colombia's capital. Many of our guests decide to spend a night or a few days in Bogotá to acclimatize, gather their first impressions or take a cupping in one of the speciality roasteries, whether directly onwards or with a stopover: we coordinate your trip individually with you.

🛬 From Bogotá to Pitalito: the domestic flight to the coffee region

As soon as you arrive in Bogotá, it's off to the south of Colombia - right near our partner fincas in Huila. The best thing is that you don't have to book this domestic flight yourself. The flight from Bogotá to Pitalito (PTX) is already an integral part of your Cofitur coffee trip.

✅ We take care of the flight organization for you

✅ Daily direct flights with SATENA or EasyFly

✅ Departure from the domestic terminal (T2)

🕓 Flight time: approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

So you don't have to worry about anything - we have prepared everything for you. You will receive all flight information and travel details from us in good time before departure. 

🚕 From Pitalito to San Agustín: the last stage to the finca

Now you're almost there! Pitalito airport is only around 35 kilometers from San Agustín - the place where you will live, learn and enjoy during our coffee trip. After landing in Pitalito, you don't need to worry about anything else - we will welcome you personally at the airport and take you directly to your first accommodation on your coffee trip in San Agustín in our car.

✅ Pick-up by our Cofitur team

✅ Safe and comfortable transfer in our vehicle

✅ Travel time: approx. 30-40 minutes through the green mountain region of Huila

The transfer is part of your trip - you don't have to worry about a thing. Sit back, breathe in the clear air of the Andes for the first time and let the anticipation grow: the coffee is already waiting.

💡 Our recommendation

• For those who want to travel quickly and comfortably:
  Direct flight Frankfurt → Bogotá with Lufthansa, then domestic flight to Pitalito with SATENA
• If you are flexible or starting from other cities: good connections via Madrid, Paris oder Amsterdam

No matter which route you choose - we'll be there as soon as you land. So that your coffee trip begins the way it continues: personally, reliably and with real proximity to the finca.
