Travel & Accommodation

The Wedding Website of MANUELA PELAEZ and PARTH VAIDYA
***IMPORTANT*** Please make sure that your passport is up to date and valid through at least September 2026 (it must be valid for 6+ months when you travel internationally). If not, we recommend making an appointment ASAP as renewals can take up to 16 weeks. Also, please know that non-Colombian citizens do not need to pay the 19% IVA tax on accommodation. If you see this on your bill, show your stamped passport and it will be removed. Where is Pereira? Our wedding will take place in Colombia's beautiful Eje Cafetero (the coffee region) right in the middle of Bogota, Cali and Medellin. The good news is that you can fly into Pereira, you do not need to drive from another city (unless that's what you want).

How to get there: 1) If there is a direct flight to Pereira, take it!

Common departure cities include Miami, Atlanta, Houston, and New York. Having a layover in Panama City, Panama is also common. Direct flight suggestion: - COPA Panama City (PTY) to Pereira (PEI) // every day 2) If there isn’t, we recommend exploring round trip tickets to Bogota (BOG) or Medellin (MDE). Then, a Colombian domestic flight to Pereira (PEI). The domestic flight from both cities is less than 30 minutes and usually costs anywhere from $30-$100 USD.

Travel Note

Ubers vs. Taxi

We recommend taking Ubers instead of yellow taxis when you can, so you have a locked fair and to help with language barriers. Sometimes an Uber driver may ask you or someone in your party to sit in the front seat, this is normal, go ahead and do so.
