Bus stations

Terminal de Transportes (main bus station)
Diagonal 23 No. 69-60
Most (non-local) buses depart from/arrive at the Terminal de Transportes. Buses to most destinations leave frequently and many destinations are served by multiple operators. Accordingly, there is rarely cause to arrive long before you wish to depart and it may be worth comparing prices between operators and bargaining over ticket prices. If you are staying in the centre and travelling north to nearby destinations (to eg. Zipaqirá or Villa de Leyva) it is quicker to get a bus from Portal del Norte
Visit the Terminal de Transporte’s site here
Portal del Norte
Autopista Norte with Calle 175
For buses to Zipaquirá, Guatavita, Villa de Leyva
Many buses that head north leave from the main bus station (Terminal de Transportes). However from the centre, it is quicker to travel by Transmilenio (B74 from Museo del Oro Mon-Sat, change at Jiménez for a fast bus on Sundays and holidays) to Portal del Norte and take your bus from there rather than travel to the Terminal and battle through town. For a guaranteed seat on longer journeys, you might be better off starting your journey from the main bus station
Terminal del sur
Autopista Sur with Carrera 75
For buses to Santandercito and other destinations to the south
To arrive at the Terminal del Sur, take the Transmilenio to Portal del Sur and walk (about 10 mins west along the autopista)

CARRERA 10 NO. 26-21 Bogota. Instead of getting of at the south terminal, can I continue on until central terminal and get off there??
Appreciate your response.!! Thank you

If your bus goes to the central terminal (terminal de transportes) as it probably does then stay on it and get off it there. The terminal de transportes is much closer to your hotel than the terminal del sur.
Have fun in Bogotá!
