Nearby landmarks:

- Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (UNAB)

Capacity: Neomundo has a main auditorium for over 1,500 attendees in plenary, rooms for parallel pre-congresses, and a commercial exhibition area for 50+ pharmaceutical industry booths.

Distances and typical times (without traffic) to Neomundo:
- Palonegro Airport (BGA): 30-40 min via Anillo Vial and Floridablanca-Bucaramanga Autopista
- Downtown Bucaramanga: 15-20 min via Carrera 27
- Cabecera del Llano (financial district): 10-15 min
- Cañaveral Hotel Zone: 5-10 min

- Piedecuesta: 15-20 min

During the congress, traffic on the Floridablanca-Bucaramanga Autopista during rush hour (7:00-8:30 AM and 5:00-7:00 PM) is heavy. To arrive by 7:00 AM for morning pre-congresses, we recommend departing the hotel at 6:15-6:30 AM and allowing extra time for parking or drop-off at Neomundo.

Our chauffeur drops you off at the main entrance of Neomundo without needing to search for parking. For pre-congresses of fixed duration, hourly service guarantees a vehicle waiting for the next destination without downtime.

Palonegro International Airport (IATA code: BGA) is located in Lebrija, approximately 32 km from downtown Bucaramanga and 35 km from Neomundo Floridablanca. The road connecting the airport to the city traverses mountainous areas, with transfer times depending on traffic and weather conditions.

Typical times:
- BGA → Neomundo Floridablanca: 35-45 min via Anillo Vial
- BGA → Downtown Bucaramanga: 40-50 min
- BGA → Cabecera del Llano: 35-45 min

Logistics recommendation: for OB/GYN attendees staying in Cañaveral or Cabecera del Llano, Neomundo is 5-15 minutes away by vehicle. For accommodations in downtown Bucaramanga (Hotel Chicamocha, boutique hotels), travel time increases to 20-25 minutes during rush hour.

For international keynote speakers (Willy Dávila, Raigam Martínez, Víctor Rubio, Luis Hernández, Miguel Routi), we coordinate accommodation at Dann Carlton, Sonesta, or Holiday Inn for strategic location and international-standard service quality.

The XXXV FECOLSOG Congress program includes pre-congresses from 7:00 AM, morning plenaries, sponsor satellite symposia (Hologic, MSD, Abbott, Exeltis) during lunch, afternoon oral communications, and pharmaceutical industry closing dinners. For an OB/GYN attendee, hourly service is the most efficient option.

Example of a typical congress day:
- 6:15 AM — Hotel pickup
- 6:45 AM — Arrival at Neomundo (registration and welcome coffee)
- 7:00 AM - 12:30 PM — Pre-congresses and plenaries
- 12:30 PM — Working lunch (sponsored by pharmaceutical industry)
- 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM — Symposia and oral communications
- 7:00 PM — FECOLSOG institutional dinner or sponsor dinner
- 10:00 PM — Return to hotel

One chauffeur all day, one fixed rate. Far more efficient than coordinating taxi/Uber for each transfer (8-10 transfers per day in a typical medical congress schedule).

For residents attending in groups (delegation from the same university program), shared service in Toyota Hiace van optimizes costs. For individual specialists, executive sedan or SUV.

Billing to hospital, IPS, EPS, university, regional OB/GYN society, or sponsoring academic entity: we issue DIAN electronic invoices to the institution's name, with breakdown by service and date. Official FUEC complies with Decree 1079 of 2015.
