El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is South America's busiest airport and most travelers' first stop in Colombia. Sitting at over 2,600 meters of elevation on the western edge of Bogotá, it is a common connecting hub for flights across the Americas, which means long layovers and early or late arrivals are routine. There is no dedicated left-luggage counter inside the terminals, so nearby partners — reachable in a short walk or rideshare from arrivals — hold luggage of any size by the hour or day. That makes it easy to head into La Candelaria or up to Monserrate hands-free, or to pick up a rental car for trips beyond the city, before returning for your flight.
