Detailed information about Suites Jones Hotel can be found at The hotel web page (English)
Please, read these specifications about hotel reservations
60 percent of all hotel's rooms were pre-blocked and are subject to the following conditions and deadlines:
Getting to Bogotá
The main way
you can get to Bogotá is via airplane through International Airport El Dorado (IATA BOG). It has
connections with main airports in the region, North America and Western Europe.
You can move from the airport to hotels/other destinations using safe taxi available
at the airport.
For more
detailed information about El Dorado check: http://www.elnuevodorado.com/
Getting around Bogotá
You can get
to main places in Bogotá via public transportation. The safest and most recommended
way to go is using the bus system Transmilenio which operates
around the main avenues in the city and it’s a reliable, fast and cheap (~1
$USD) way to move. For more information about Transmilenio
please review: Trip
Planner TransMilenio. This is a guide written in Spanish
which depicts the map of the Transmilenio routes all
around Bogotá and shows the stops and schedules of all services Transmilenio offers.
Another way
to move around the city is via urban bus. Although it’s cheaper than Transmilenio it is less recommended because one has to know
well the routes covered by the different services and there’s no such
information on the internet. Plus it’s not as safe nor as fast as Transmilenio.
Finally, cab
service can be faster and more comfortable than any bus service but some safety
considerations must be taken into account. We recommend to call a cab operator
for a service; Taxis Libres is a good choice, you can reach them through a
local telephone line to the numbers listed in their webpage.
Getting to the Universidad de Los Andes
Latin
American Jamboree will be taking place at Universidad de Los Andes’ campus.
Further details about the exact location of the event within the campus will be
made availiable online later.
Public Transportation
Universidad
de Los Andes is located in can be
easily reached using Transmilenio. “Las Aguas” station is the nearest station to the campus, you
spend 3 minutes from there to the university on foot going through Eje Ambiental which is a walkway
that takes you to the university’s main entrances. Arriving in another bus service
is also an option, just board any service labeled ‘Germania’ and get off at Calle 19 and Carrera 3. You can also get there by cab
following the recommendations stated before.
By Car
Universidad
de Los Andes offers parking lot service in the SD building. However there are
still many independent parking lots that offer a good service all around the
campus. This option should be considered since SD’s lot gets full relatively
fast. Please visit Getting
Around to get full details and directions on how to get to Universidad de
Los Andes.
