You have 3 options;
1-Take a Public Taxi from the airport to Laureles. Write down the
number on the top and sides. Fare is fixed at 48,000 pesos. They are
quite safe;
2-You can hire a private taxi with an English Speaking driver.
www.medallolimo.com is a good bet; About 60,000 COP
3-You can take a bus/minivan from the airport to Call3 53 for about
5,000 and a taxi to your final Laureles destination.
