Hacienda el Bosque to Pereira (1 Viewer)

Hi all,

Is it feasible to leave Hacienda El Bosque in the morning and have enough time to catch the 11h46 Avianca flight from Pereira to Santa Marta? Just trying to decide whether to stay 2 nights at Hacienda El Bosque and leave in the morning for the flight or just one night and leave after lunch and stay in a hotel in or near Pereira. We prefer to get to Minca before it gets dark so this seems the best flight time. It has 1h15 stopover in Bogota and arrives in Santa Marta at 15h33.
I was planning on asking El Bosque to arrange a transfer from Rio Blanco and the transfer to the airport however Rio Blanco have given me contact details for a couple of drivers who can hopefully pick us up from the bus station in Manizales and take us to Rio Blanco so maybe it would be better to see if they could do all three transfers?
Any advice on this part of our trip would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks.

Yes. Leave El Bosque c7.30. But they would know best. However, seems a bit of a waste of a morning so you'd be better travelling in afternoon and doing some birding near Pereira such as at Cauquita reserve. Best contact them directly.

I imagine the drivers from Rio Blanco would be cheaper, El Bosque would be more reliable but your guess is as good as mine. Best ask them.
