The airport is 25 minutes drive away from downtown Buenaventura and can be reached by taxi for $7. Satena flies several times a week.
The Terminal de Transportes is located downtown. To get there even though it is close to the hotels options on Calle 1 it is recommended that you take a taxi - $1.50-$2.
Vans from the Terminal leave for Cali roughly every 20 minutes but given the journey it would be wise to do it during daylight hours. The road to Cali winds through valleys and tunnels and has been blocked on occasion after landslides from heavy rains. Companies that run Vans to Cali from Buenaventura are prevalent, but two reputable firms are the following: Palmira and Transmar – Vans cost $7-$8 per person and Taxis which leave when full cost $10 per person. The journey takes between 3 and 4 hours.
Boats – from the Muelle Turistico you can organize your transport north to Juanchaco, Ladrilleros, Guapi and Charco. There are half a dozen boat operators and most leave for their destinations between 9am and 11am. Two recommended companies are Pacifico Express and Transmilenio.
