How does a puppy get to Soacha?
How the puppy gets to you is arranged with each family on WhatsApp: it depends on where you live, on the puppy’s age and on what is calmest for the puppy.
Soacha has no airport with scheduled flights of its own: the nearest is El Dorado Airport (BOG), in Bogotá, about 16 km (10 mi) away in a straight line. The next closest is Vanguardia Airport (VVC), in Villavicencio, 80 km (50 mi) away. Bogotá is 14 km (9 mi) away in a straight line; a straight line is not the road, and which of the airports makes sense depends on the route.
