How to get from Camilo Daza International Airport to Hotel Tonchalá

Camilo Daza International Airport is in Cúcuta, while Hotel Tonchalá is at the corner of Avenida 0 and Calle 10 in the city.

The hotel gives a 15-minute airport journey time without specifying a travel mode or traffic conditions; the drive from the hotel is about 38 minutes. Treat those figures as different indications rather than a guaranteed arrival time.

For your own trip, allow for the time needed to collect your luggage and arrange a ride after landing. The airport’s coordinates are 7.92750° N, 72.51167° W, useful when checking the destination in a map or ride app.

You can leave the airport by taxi, request a taxi through an app, or rent a car; Colombia Travel reports no direct public-transport option between the airport and Cúcuta.

Taxi from the terminal

Regular yellow taxis and special white taxis are available at the passenger-terminal exit. Colombia Travel names Radio Taxi Cone as one company operating at the airport, and the Área Metropolitana de Cúcuta identifies it as an authorized individual passenger-transport company. You can ask about the fare before starting the trip.

Taxi requested through an app

Uber allows riders to request a taxi for trips to or from CUC, with the ride operated by a licensed taxi driver. Pickup locations can vary, so follow the directions shown in the app after requesting a ride. Before getting in, compare the driver’s name, license plate and car color with the details in the app.

The app displays an estimated price before you request a ride. The amount can depend on ride type, estimated distance and duration, tolls, city fees and current demand; Uber says it does not offer a flat-rate fare from CUC to downtown.

Rental car

Car-rental companies are in the domestic arrivals area. Colombia Travel gives a minimum age of 25, a valid driver’s license, photo ID, passport and valid international credit card among rental requirements, while noting that requirements can vary by agency. Confirm the terms with the rental company before you travel.

Once you are in the city, getting around Cúcuta from Hotel Tonchalá also involves considering local transport options.

Check the pickup instructions, fare information and provider requirements for your chosen option before setting off from the terminal. For an app-requested taxi, use the in-app pickup directions and verify the vehicle and driver details before boarding. For a rental car, confirm the agency’s specific documentation and age requirements.

Colombia Travel’s airport guidance is a place to confirm taxi and rental-car details; check the official site before you go. Transport availability and pickup instructions can change, so check the relevant provider’s current guidance as well.

After landing, collect your luggage and then follow the pickup instructions for the ride you chose. If you are using a taxi, go to the passenger-terminal exit; if you are renting a car, look for the companies in domestic arrivals.

For an app-requested taxi, wait at the location the app directs you to rather than assuming every ride uses the same pickup point.

Build flexibility into your arrival plan: the stated drive time is not a promise about the time your own trip will take. If you have a check-in deadline, confirm it directly with the hotel and allow enough time for the transfer and any wait after landing. The Cúcuta city centre guide covers the area around the hotel.
