    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    TransMilenio BRT

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forTrunk and feeder network on the Calle 26 and NQS corridors serving the Corferias district

    Bogota's bus rapid transit is the backbone of the city network: articulated buses on dedicated lanes, boarded through stations with a stored-value Tu Llave card. Buy or top up the card at station windows and use feeder buses for the last leg to the fairground.

    SITP city bus

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forIntegrated urban and zonal buses covering Quinta Paredes, Teusaquillo and central Bogota

    Blue SITP buses reach neighbourhoods that the trunk network does not, sharing the Tu Llave card. Routes and stop coverage are shown on the Moovit trip planner; expect longer journey times in the 6-9 am and 5-7 pm peaks.

    Taxi (yellow metered cab)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forHotel districts (Parque 93, Calle 100, Chico) to the Corferias gates

    Licensed yellow taxis are metered and easy to hail on main avenues, or book through an app or hotel desk. Traffic on Calle 26 and Carrera 30 can double the journey time; allow 25-45 minutes in the morning peak.

    Ride-hail (app based)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forDoor-to-door between hotels and Corferias using Uber, Cabify or DiDi

    App-based ride-hail is widely used in Bogota and generally cheaper than street taxis outside surge windows. Pickup and drop-off at Corferias are normally directed to designated zones outside the gates during the fair.

    Airport taxi

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forEl Dorado International Airport (BOG) to Corferias

    Use the official taxi counters in the arrivals hall rather than unlicensed drivers. The trip takes roughly 20-45 minutes depending on traffic and is the simplest option with luggage or stand materials.

    Bogota Metro (first line, under implementation)

    Estimated costNo metro fare is budgeted for this trip; confirm operating status before relying on the metro for fairground transfers
    Best forPlanned metro line; check whether any section carries passengers during the May 2027 show dates

    The first metro line is being phased in and station coverage for Corferias is not confirmed for 2027. Plan on TransMilenio, SITP, taxi or ride-hail as the working options.

    Weather

    Bogota sits at roughly 2,600 m on an Andean plateau, so May is mild rather than tropical. Expect daytime highs of about 14-19 C, nights near 8-10 C, and a high chance of afternoon and evening showers as the city moves through its first rainy season. Mornings are frequently dry and bright, so schedule outdoor movement and airport transfers early. UV exposure is strong at this altitude even under cloud. Halls at Corferias are large and can feel cool in the morning and stuffy in the afternoon; a light layer plus a compact rain jacket covers both.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Colombia's main mobile operators - Claro, Movistar, Tigo and WOM - provide 4G coverage across Bogota with 5G in parts of the northern business districts; a local prepaid SIM or travel eSIM is the cheapest way to get data, and roaming from US and EU carriers generally works but can be costly. Corferias halls typically offer organiser Wi-Fi in common areas, though it should not be relied on for live demos or heavy uploads; arrange a dedicated connection through the venue's technical services if your stand needs one. Electricity is 110 V at 60 Hz with type A and B plugs, so visitors from Europe, the UK and most of Asia need a voltage-compatible adapter. Data-only apps such as WhatsApp and the ride-hail apps are the working tools for local coordination.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Altitude

    Bogota sits at about 2,600 m. Expect shortness of breath on stairs and lighter sleep for the first day or two. Arrive a day early, keep the first evening quiet, drink water and go easy on alcohol before meetings.

    Language

    Spanish is the language of the hall floor. Opening pleasantries and a few phrases go a long way with Colombian distributors; for specification or contract talks, bring a Spanish-speaking colleague or hire an interpreter rather than relying on English alone.

    Business rhythm

    Bogota works a long lunch: many offices slow between about 12:30 and 14:00, and meetings often run late into the afternoon. The best stand conversations happen in the morning and after 15:00. Coffee is offered constantly and accepting it is part of the greeting.

    Currency and payments

    The currency is the Colombian peso (COP). Cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants, but carry some cash for taxis, TransMilenio card top-ups and small purchases. Prices quoted at the fair are usually in COP and exclude IVA unless stated.

    Getting around safely

    Use licensed yellow taxis or app-based ride-hail rather than hailing unmarked cars, keep bags close in crowded TransMilenio stations, and ask your hotel to call transport after dark. The Corferias and Quinta Paredes area is busy and well lit during show hours.

    Tipping and etiquette

    Restaurants commonly add a voluntary 10% service charge, which is usually paid unless service was poor. Handshakes are the standard business greeting; being on time is appreciated, though Colombian meetings can start a little late and small talk about family or the city is normal before business.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Fly into El Dorado International (BOG), the only practical international gateway for the show. Direct service links Bogota with Miami, Panama City, Mexico City, Lima, Santiago, Sao Paulo, New York and Madrid, so most long-haul visitors connect through a US, Panamanian or Iberian hub. Book 8-12 weeks before the 11-16 May 2027 dates, aim to land at least a day before your first meeting for altitude acclimatisation, and allow a generous connection on the return because afternoon storms in May can cause delays. Fares quoted elsewhere in this listing are approximate planning bands, not live quotes: compare them against current availability before committing. Complete the Check-Mig form before departure and keep the confirmation offline.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Bogotá; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Corferias: Bogotá (city-wide): Bogotá (city-wide); Parque 93: Parque 93; Calle 100: Calle 100.

    Ride-hail: Uber, Cabify and DiDi all operate in Bogota and are the easiest way to move between hotels and Corferias without negotiating fares. Expect app quotes of roughly COP 15,000-30,000 for trips within the north-central corridor, more at show closing time when demand spikes around the fairground. During the fair, pickups are typically pushed to designated zones outside the gates, so allow five extra minutes to walk out. Street taxis are metered and plentiful as a fallback, but confirm the meter is running and avoid unmarked cars.

    Public transit: Bogota's public transport is a bus-based system: TransMilenio trunk buses on dedicated lanes plus blue SITP zonal buses, both paid with a stored-value Tu Llave card rather than cash on board. For Corferias, use the Calle 26 corridor stations in the Quinta Paredes and Gobernacion area and walk to the gates, or take a feeder service; confirm current station names and access points on the TransMilenio or Moovit planner, since the network changes. Fares are around COP 3,200-3,600 per ride (approximate; confirm current rates), and stations are very crowded in the 6-9 am and 5-7 pm peaks. The first metro line is still being phased in, so do not plan on rail for the 2027 edition.

    Parking: Corferias has paid on-site car parks serving the halls, with entry from the roads around the fairground and hourly or event-day tariffs set by the venue operator; confirm current rates and hall access before driving. Capacity is the constraint rather than price: on peak trade days the queues build before mid-morning and clear only after the afternoon sessions. Exhibitors with heavy equipment or stand materials should arrange vehicle access and unloading slots with the official logistics contractor in advance rather than arriving unannounced. For most buyers, taxi, ride-hail or TransMilenio is faster than driving and parking.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: May (Bogota's first rainy season, mild highland temperatures)

    Temperature: Approx. 8-10 C at night and 14-19 C by day, with the warmest hours around midday; strong high-altitude sun when the cloud breaks. Use this as a climatological band and check the forecast in the week before travel.

    Seasonality: May falls in Bogota's first wet season, with frequent afternoon and evening showers and roughly 100-150 mm of rain across the month in a typical year. Rain usually arrives in short heavy bursts rather than all-day drizzle, so mornings are the best window for walking to the halls or taking an early transfer. Hail and sudden downpours can briefly flood roads around the fairground.

    Packing: Pack for spring-like days and cool nights: a light waterproof jacket or compact umbrella, layers you can remove in heated halls, comfortable closed shoes for long days on concrete, and a warm layer for evenings. Bring high-factor sunscreen and sunglasses because UV is strong at 2,600 m, plus a refillable water bottle for the altitude. Business casual with a jacket works for stand meetings; leave heavy winter coats and formal tropical wear at home.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at Feria Expoconstrucción y Expodiseño usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    Day 1

    Register through the official ExpoConstruccion y ExpoDiseno channel and check whether your profile qualifies for a trade pass rather than general admission.

    Day 2

    Book the hotel in Quinta Paredes, Teusaquillo or the Avenida La Esperanza blocks if you want to walk to Corferias; compare against Parque 93 or Calle 100 if you prefer a full-service district.

    Day 3

    Book flights into El Dorado (BOG) with arrival at least one day before your first meeting to allow for altitude acclimatisation.

    Day 4

    Complete the Colombian Check-Mig entry form online within the window set by Migracion Colombia and save the confirmation on your phone.

    Day 5

    Download the Corferias floor plan and exhibitor list, mark the stands you must visit and pre-book meetings with three to five priority suppliers.

    Day 6

    Arrange a Tu Llave card plan or budget for taxis and ride-hail, and note that TransMilenio fares are paid with the stored-value card rather than cash on board.; Prepare a digital checklist of technical questions per category: NTC or RETIE compliance, warranties, lead times, minimum order quantities and Colombian distributor coverage.

    Day 7

    Pack for 8-19 C days with frequent rain: layers, a compact waterproof jacket, comfortable walking shoes for concrete halls, and business-casual clothes for stand meetings.

    Day 8

    Check the show's opening hours and your registration QR code, plan the first morning route to avoid crossing the fairground twice, and keep the evening light because of the altitude.

    Day 9

    Confirm what your practice or company needs from the trip: tile and finish shortlists, sanitaryware lines, lighting or machinery, and write down the specifications you must verify on the stand.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    When and where is ExpoConstruccion y ExpoDiseno 2027 held?
    The fair runs 11-16 May 2027 at the Corferias exhibition centre in Bogota, Colombia. Corferias is the city's main fairground, located in the central-eastern part of the city within reach of the Calle 26 corridor and El Dorado airport.
    What can I actually see on the show floor?
    Expect kitchens and bathroom products, ceramic and porcelain tile, natural stone, paints and coatings, faucets, architectural lighting, cement and concrete products, steel, drywall, waterproofing, doors and windows, facades, power tools, formwork, heavy machinery, solar and water-heating equipment, plus design software and urban furniture.
    Is ExpoConstruccion y ExpoDiseno for trade buyers or the general public?
    The organiser sets the registration categories and publishes them with the ticket portal. Colombian construction and design fairs at Corferias typically mix professional buyers with design-interested visitors, so check which pass category fits your role before booking travel.
    How much does a ticket cost?
    The cost data captured for this listing shows a general admission price of about COP 49,000 per person. Treat that as a working figure and confirm the current price and any trade-registration route on the official site, since prices change between editions.
    How do I get from El Dorado airport to Corferias?
    El Dorado International (BOG) is roughly 12-15 km west of the fairground. An authorised taxi from the arrivals-hall counter takes about 20-45 minutes depending on traffic and typically costs around COP 45,000-75,000. Ride-hail apps work from designated pickup zones, and TransMilenio plus SITP buses connect the airport corridor to the centre on a Tu Llave card.
    Where should I stay for the show?
    Hotels in Quinta Paredes, Teusaquillo and around Avenida La Esperanza are within a 5-20 minute walk of the Corferias gates and are the most practical base. Parque 93, Calle 100 and Chicó have more full-service and five-star options but add a 25-45 minute transfer in peak traffic.
    Do I need Spanish to work the show?
    Spanish is the working language of most stands and buyer meetings. Many larger exhibitors have English-speaking commercial staff, but for specification discussions, price negotiation and site follow-up it is worth bringing a Spanish-speaking colleague or hiring an interpreter for key appointments.
    What is the weather like in Bogota in May?
    May sits in Bogota's first rainy season, with frequent afternoon and evening showers and daytime temperatures around 14-19 C, dropping to roughly 8-10 C at night. Mornings are often brighter. Pack layers and a compact rain jacket rather than expecting a hot tropical climate.
    Does Bogota's altitude cause problems for visitors?
    The city sits at roughly 2,600 m, so mild breathlessness, fatigue and disturbed sleep are common in the first 24-48 hours. Arrive a day before the show opens, keep the first evening light, drink water and limit alcohol before meetings.
    Can I park at Corferias during the fair?
    Corferias operates paid on-site car parks, but capacity is tight on peak trade days and queues build before mid-morning. Many exhibitors and buyers use taxis, ride-hail or TransMilenio instead. Confirm current hourly or event-day rates with the venue operator before driving.
    Which construction sectors are strongest at this Bogota edition?
    The mix tracks Colombian demand: subsidised and mid-income housing (VIS/VIP) drives volume in tile, sanitaryware, cement and drywall; hospitality and remodelling drive kitchens, lighting and decorative finishes; and infrastructure and public works drive machinery, waterproofing and electrical systems.
