Direct buses to Doradal leave Terminal Salitre (6-7 h). If there is no direct departure, go to Honda or La Dorada and connect.
By plane
Fly to Medellín (MDE) and continue by road (Medellín-Doradal route). At the airport you can rent a car or book a transfer.
For a weekend, tours from Bogotá leave at night. Going on your own? Sleep at one of the hotels near Hacienda Nápoles and visit the Colombian Santorini while you are there.
