Airport Procedure
Leaving the airport during your layover is not difficult but you need to pay an entry visa of $12, this you pay at immigration and you also need a receipt from your airline showing that you paid airport taxes, this could cost approx $30 but its better to check with your airline.
If you fly with AVIANCA, their counter opens until 6am, so you wont be able to leave before this time. You need to get a document at their counter before going down to immigration. After you get these, and you go through immigration, you wont need to get your luggage as your airline should move it to the next plane, but please again check with your airline. Your tourguide will be waiting for you outside holding a sign with your name on it.
