Colombia, like other countries in South America, relies heavily on ground transportation for mobilization and business purposes. Most cities and pueblos are connected by several bus companies. However, be aware that bus companies tend to have high demand, and tickets are quickly sold out for hot top destinations.

Colombia is a large country so driving between cities can be an exhausting activity, especially if you are thinking of getting a  car and start driving. In addition, toll fees and gasoline can easily turn a good experience into an undesirable adventure.

Hiring a driver, on the other hand, gives you more than transportation. Colombian culture is friendly by nature, so by the end of the trip, you would have made a new friend who has proudly shared the insights and type of information not found on travel forums.
