What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inTerminal 1 is for internal (domestic) flights, Terminal 2 is mainly for charter flights and some scheduled flights from the United States and Terminal 3 is used for all other international flights.
  • Get inTaking the bus will take longer than a taxi colectivo.
  • Get inFor passengers transferring to reach Terminal 3, By colectivo – A taxi colectivo route follows the same route as bus P-12 between Parque Fraternid (Simon Bolivar, just west of Fraternidad), and stops for Terminals 1 (stops on Avenida Rancho Boyeros at Avenida Van Troi) and Terminal 2 (stops on Avenida Rancho Boyeros at Carretera De Murgas).
  • Get inTaxis colectivos are more frequent than the bus, will stop less than the bus and only has seated passengers, but are likely not suitable to accommodate space for more than one full-sized travel, hiking backpack or passenger.
  • Get inRancho Boyeros, just walk to the nearest road (GPS: 23.0, -82.41058) and take some passing shared taxi or bus, for usually less than 100 CUP.
