Medellín's urban domestic airport serving the Aburrá Valley.

Opened
1932
Location
Medellín, Colombia
Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH) is a domestic airport located within the city of Medellín, Colombia, serving as the primary hub for regional and short-haul flights within the country. Named after Colombian president Enrique Olaya Herrera, the airport occupies a site in the Robledo neighborhood and operates alongside the larger José María Córdova International Airport, which handles most international traffic. The airport primarily serves destinations within Colombia, with airlines operating turboprop and small jet aircraft on regional routes. Its urban location makes it convenient for city-center passengers but also limits its capacity for expansion and restricts it to smaller aircraft due to runway length constraints. EOH plays an important role in connecting Medellín to smaller Colombian cities and towns that may not be served by the larger international airport, making it a vital piece of the country's regional aviation network.
Terminals
The airport operates a single terminal building handling domestic passenger traffic.
Getting to & from

City & Place Guide

The City of Eternal Spring where innovation meets culture

Medellín sits in a lush Andean valley at roughly 1,500 meters elevation, giving it a mild, near-perfect climate year-round. Once infamous for violence, it has reinvented itself into one of Latin America's most celebrated cities for urban design, entrepreneurship, and nightlife.

The city's transformation is visible everywhere — from the gondola-linked hillside comunas to the leafy boulevards of El Poblado. Neighborhoods like Laureles, Envigado, and the revitalized Centro each offer a distinct personality, making Medellín endlessly explorable for visitors staying more than a few days.

  • •Plaza Botero — open-air museum displaying 23 iconic sculptures by native son Fernando Botero
  • •Comuna 13 — former conflict zone turned vibrant street-art and outdoor escalator landmark
  • •Parque Arví — expansive nature reserve reached by a scenic Metrocable gondola ride
  • •El Peñol Rock — massive granite monolith near Guatapé with panoramic reservoir views
  • •Museo de Antioquia — excellent fine-arts collection including the largest Botero holdings
  • •Jardín Botánico — serene botanical garden hosting the beloved Orquídeas Festival

Getting around: Medellín's integrated Metro system is clean, punctual, and connects the city's main corridors, with Metrocable lines extending up the hillside comunas. Electric buses and the BRT-style Metroplús complement Metro coverage, while green EnCicla bike-share stations offer a free first 30 minutes. Uber and InDriver operate widely; traditional taxis are metered and inexpensive.

Best time: December through February and July through August offer the least rain and the most comfortable, sunny days for sightseeing.

Local food: Try bandeja paisa — a heaping platter of beans, rice, chicharrón, chorizo, and egg — along with fresh arepas de chócolo, mondongo soup, and buñuelos from local bakeries.
