Answers to the Frequently Asked Questions about Medellin international airport (MDE)

These are white taxis shared among several people to reduce costs. It represents the regular taxi fare (about USD23.00) but is divided among all passengers (up to 4 people). In the case of traveling with family, both the colectivo and the regular taxi have the same fare, and in that case, either option is valid.
