Mobile internet setup

Choose apartments with fiber and ask for a speed test before booking.

Best way to fly in

El Dorado Airport is one of South America's better-connected hubs.

Private care is good, but out-of-pocket costs can add up for specialists.

Best first week plan

Gold Museum, Monserrate, Usaquen market, coffee tastings, day trips to Zipaquira
