José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) is the second largest airport in Colombia after El Dorado International Airport of Bogotá. It is located in the city of Rionegro, 25 kilometres south-east of Medellin’s city centre “El Centro”, and takes around 30 minutes to reach by car or taxi using the newly built tunnel “Túnel del Oriente”.

After that, your driver will take the “Túnel del Oriente” to “Cra. 46” in Medellín and stay on this road for about 25 min (21.3 km).
