El Dorado International Airport Terminal 2 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal 2 at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá is a smaller, older annex building known locally as Puente Aéreo, set apart within Bogotá’s main airport complex from Terminal 1 by multi-lane access roads, parking areas, and service buildings. The footprint is compact and linear, so internal walking is short once you are inside the correct building. There is no indoor connection to the main terminal, so every Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 transfer happens outside, either by the free shuttle curbside or by a fully outdoor pedestrian route.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 2 landside arrivals hall (first floor) | Free inter-terminal shuttle curb | 1 to 2 minutes |
| Terminal 2 vertical circulation core | Escalator or elevator to departures and check-in (second floor) | 2 to 4 minutes |
| Terminal 2 check-in counters (second floor main hall) | Security screening entrance (same floor, adjacent) | 1 to 3 minutes |
| Terminal 2 airside | Gate corridors split to Gates 1 through 5 | 1 to 3 minutes |
El Dorado International Airport Terminal 2 Map Strategy
- Use dual naming every time you navigate: say “Terminal 2, Puente Aéreo” to drivers and confirm the airline at the curb so you are not dropped at Terminal 1 by mistake.
- Treat transfer time as variable: the free shuttle bus runs on an interval, so missing one bus can add a full wait cycle plus ride time, which is what breaks tight connections.
- Anchor your curb decisions to floor logic: arrivals activity is on the first floor, but app-based rideshare pickups typically work best from the departures level behavior, while the inter-terminal shuttle is a dedicated curb outside arrivals.
- Plan for late-night constraints: if you arrive when the airside zone is closed, move to the landside public hall and food court seating area and wait until security reopens rather than expecting access to the gates.

Terminal 2 continues operating as the Puente Aéreo building for specific domestic carriers, with airline check-in and baggage drop located on the second floor and a single, compact airside pier beyond one central security checkpoint. Transfers between Terminal 2 and Terminal 1 still require outdoor movement using the free El Dorado shuttle bus during its operating window or walking outdoors when the shuttle is not available. Overnight, the landside public hall remains accessible while the airside gates area closes until early morning.

What is the exact walking distance (in meters) from Terminal 2 (Puente Aéreo) arrivals to the free shuttle pickup point for Terminal 1?
The walking distance is effectively curb-adjacent because the free inter-terminal shuttle pickup at Terminal 2 sits immediately outside the main arrivals exit on the first floor. From baggage claim doors in Terminal 2, the path is a straight exit to the curb lane, with no internal corridor walk or parking-lot traverse required.
A practical map-verified range is about 30 to 80 meters, depending on which baggage belt you exit from and which arrivals door you use as your reference point. The landmark triangulation is the Terminal 2 first-floor arrivals doors: once you step outside those doors, the shuttle stop is on that same curb line in the designated shuttle lane.
Where is the precise Terminal 2 curb or door used for rideshare (Uber or DiDi) pickup—by door number or side of roadway?
Rideshare pickup at Terminal 2 is on the departures level curb on the second floor, not the arrivals curb on the first floor. The meeting point works by going upstairs to the second-floor roadway and standing at a numbered departures door where the driver can stop briefly in the faster-moving lane.
Use the Terminal 2 interior escalators or elevators from the first-floor arrivals hall to reach the second floor, then exit through the second-floor departures doors to the upper roadway. The landmark triangulation is the Terminal 2 second-floor departures curb: this is the same level used for vehicle drop-offs, and it is where drivers usually message a specific door number inside the app. Staying on the first-floor arrivals curb is the common failure mode and often leads to missed pickups or cancellations.
What is the shortest on-foot route from Terminal 2 check-in to security screening, including the correct floor level?
The shortest route stays entirely on the second floor because security screening in Terminal 2 is adjacent to the check-in counters on that same level. Walking is direct: finish check-in at the second-floor counter row, then move laterally toward the clearly signed security portal beside the counter area.
From the Terminal 2 second-floor main hall, face the primary line of airline counters, then follow the flow of passengers toward the single centralized security entrance that serves all gates. The landmark triangulation is the second-floor check-in counter row: the security entry is immediately next to that row, not downstairs and not in a separate pier. Once you clear security, the airside corridor splits quickly toward Gates 1 through 5.
Where is the Terminal 2 shuttle drop-off point at Terminal 1, and what is the exact walking route from that drop-off to international check-in counters?
The Terminal 2 shuttle drop-off at Terminal 1 is at Terminal 1, first floor, Door 2. From that curb, the route to international check-in requires re-entering the building at Door 2 and going up to the departures level where the check-in halls are located.
Walk inside through Door 2 into the public hall, then use the nearest central escalators or elevators to reach the second floor departures hall. From the second floor, orient to the blue international wayfinding for Piers A and B, which share the main international processing zone, and continue to the international check-in counter area. The landmark triangulation is “Door 2 on the first floor” as the ground-level anchor and the “blue Pier A and Pier B signage” as the confirmation you are in the correct international direction.
What is the map-verified transfer path from Terminal 2 arrivals to Terminal 1 departures, and which segments are outdoor vs indoor?
There is no indoor connector between Terminal 2 and Terminal 1, so the transfer is either curb-to-curb shuttle with outdoor exposure at both ends or a fully outdoor walk the entire way. The standard path uses the free inter-terminal shuttle bus from the Terminal 2 arrivals curb to Terminal 1, first floor, Door 2, followed by an indoor climb to departures.
| Segment | Path | Indoor or Outdoor |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 2 baggage claim to shuttle stop | Exit first-floor arrivals doors to the shuttle curb lane | Indoor then outdoor |
| Inter-terminal movement | Free shuttle bus from Terminal 2 curb to Terminal 1, first floor, Door 2 | Outdoor vehicle ride |
| Terminal 1 Door 2 to departures hall | Re-enter at Door 2, use escalator or elevator to second floor | Indoor |
| Departures hall to international direction | Follow blue signage toward Piers A and B and the international check-in zone | Indoor |
What is the exact location of Terminal 2 airline check-in counters (by hall/row/landmark) for the carriers operating from Terminal 2?
The Terminal 2 airline check-in counters are on the second floor in the main departures hall, arranged as a single central row of service counters for the carriers operating from Terminal 2. The counters sit immediately beside the only security screening entrance, so you do not need to change levels after check-in.
Use the first-floor public hall as your entry landmark, then go directly to the central escalators or elevators to reach the second floor. On the second floor, the landmark is the dominant counter line running across the main hall, where passengers queue for Satena, Clic Air, and JetSmart services. Once you are facing that counter row, the security checkpoint is the adjacent portal on the same level, positioned to funnel all passengers into the single airside pier leading to Gates 1 through 5.
If a taxi drops you at Terminal 1 by mistake, what is the fastest map-verified route to reach Terminal 2 check-in (walking vs shuttle), and where does that route begin?
The fastest route is the free inter-terminal shuttle bus from Terminal 1, first floor, Door 2 to Terminal 2, followed by an immediate move upstairs to the second-floor check-in hall. Walking is possible but is a long, fully outdoor perimeter route that is slower for most travelers with luggage.
| Option | Where it begins | Route | Typical time cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free shuttle bus | Terminal 1, first floor, Door 2 curb | Board shuttle to Terminal 2 arrivals curb, then go to second floor for check-in | 25 to 45 minutes including wait and ride |
| Outdoor walk | Terminal 1 outer curb area | Follow the perimeter pedestrian pathways and crosswalks to Terminal 2 | About 18 to 25 minutes of continuous walking, fully outdoor |
The landmark triangulation is Terminal 1, first floor, Door 2 as the ground transportation anchor point. If you are inside Terminal 1, navigate to Door 2 on the first floor to find the shuttle zone; once at Terminal 2, use the central escalators or elevators to reach the second-floor airline counters.
Where are the closest restrooms to Terminal 2 security entrance, and what is the shortest path to them from the main entry doors?
The closest reliable restroom landmark near the pre-security core is in the first-floor public hall near the area between Entrance Door 1 and Entrance Door 2, where the pet relief area is located. This zone concentrates plumbing and is the easiest “find it fast” anchor from the main doors before you go upstairs to check-in and security.
From the main entry doors into the first-floor public hall, walk toward the central corridor between Entrance Door 1 and Entrance Door 2, using the pet relief area as the visual anchor. Once you have used the restroom, return to the central escalators or elevators in the same landside hall and go up to the second floor for check-in and the adjacent security entrance. The landmark triangulation is “between Entrance Door 1 and Entrance Door 2” on the first floor, then “central escalators” to reach the second-floor security level.
What is the map-verified walking time and distance from Terminal 2 security exit (airside) to the main departure gates area (the point where gate corridors split)?
Walking takes about 1 to 3 minutes because the gates split point is almost immediately after the security exit in Terminal 2. Distance is roughly 60 to 150 meters, depending on where the queue spills out and which side of the corridor you enter.
The landmark triangulation is the Terminal 2 security exit itself: once you clear the metal detectors and step into the sterile area, you will see the airside corridor open up and split toward Gates 1 through 5 within short, direct line-of-sight. There are no long concourses, moving walkways, or secondary corridors before the split, which is why Terminal 2 feels much faster than the main terminal for gate access.
Where is the exact landside waiting area in Terminal 2 that remains accessible when airside is closed, and how do you reach it from the main entrance?
The landside waiting area is the first-floor public hall and the adjacent food court seating area inside Terminal 2, which remains accessible when the airside gates area is closed overnight. Access is entirely before security, so you do not need a reopened checkpoint to enter and wait.
Enter through the main Terminal 2 doors into the first-floor public hall, then walk inward toward the central seating and food vendors that form the terminal’s food court zone. The landmark triangulation is the first-floor public hall as the primary indoor space and the food court seating area as the overnight staging point; if you reach the stairs or escalators leading up to the second-floor check-in hall, you are already close, but the waiting area is primarily downstairs until security reopens in the early morning.
What is the safest, simplest pedestrian route from Terminal 2 to the nearest hotel shuttle or van pickup concentration point, including crosswalk locations?
Walking east along Avenida El Dorado (Avenida 26) toward the airport-hotel cluster near Habitel Hotel and Courtyard by Marriott is the simplest pedestrian route from Terminal 2. The route works by staying on the paved sidewalk system and using the marked zebra crosswalks at the terminal access-road junctions instead of crossing lanes informally.
| Step | Route instruction | Landmark anchor | Crosswalk cue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Exit Terminal 2 to the landside curb area and locate the paved pedestrian sidewalk that parallels the internal terminal road | Terminal 2 main exits on the first floor | Use the nearest marked zebra crossing to get onto the continuous sidewalk side |
| 2 | Follow the sidewalk in the direction of Avenida El Dorado (Avenida 26), keeping the airport roadway on one side and avoiding shortcuts through parking lanes | The main perimeter sidewalk leading away from the terminal complex | Cross only where painted zebra crosswalks connect sidewalk segments across the access loop |
| 3 | Continue eastbound, staying parallel to Avenida 26 toward the hotel concentration zone | Avenida 26 frontage direction | Use the marked pedestrian crossings where the hotel-access spur and terminal egress lanes intersect the sidewalk |
| 4 | End at the hotel frontage area commonly used for shuttles and short pickups | Habitel Hotel area or Courtyard by Marriott area | Remain inside the hotel-side sidewalks and curb zones for any final roadway crossing |
The landmark triangulation is Terminal 2 landside exits as the start, Avenida El Dorado (Avenida 26) as the guiding edge, and Habitel Hotel or Courtyard by Marriott as the destination cluster where hotel vans and shuttles concentrate.
Where is the Terminal 2 “Puente Aéreo” building boundary relative to Terminal 1 on the airport map (that is, which side of the complex), so a driver cannot confuse them?
Terminal 2 (Puente Aéreo) sits west of Terminal 1 within the El Dorado airport campus, separated by landside roads and parking areas, and it is not attached to the H-shaped main terminal footprint. The two buildings are close in straight-line terms but require a longer perimeter route on the ground because there is no indoor connector.
From a driver instruction standpoint, use Terminal 1 as the massive, H-shaped main terminal where international flights operate, and use Terminal 2 as the smaller, isolated Puente Aéreo annex for specific domestic carriers. The landmark triangulation that prevents confusion is “Terminal 1 is the main international hub building” versus “Terminal 2 is the separate Puente Aéreo building,” and the operational cue is that the inter-terminal shuttle links the buildings curb-to-curb rather than any interior hallway link.
