Yes, you can smoke at Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport (ADZ) — outdoors, on the landside, outside the terminal building. There is no airside smoking area and no indoor smoking room, so smoke before you check in or after you land.
Gustavo Rojas Pinilla is the only airport on the island of San Andrés, in Colombia’s Caribbean archipelago. Aerocivil, Colombia’s civil aviation authority, operates the airport, which handles domestic flights from the Colombian mainland alongside international routes to Panama and, seasonally, Canada.
Where to Smoke
Neither domestic nor international departures have access to an indoor smoking room, and there is no smoking area past security anywhere in the terminal — Colombia’s national smoke-free law bans smoking in enclosed public places. The open air outside the building is the only option, so smoke before check-in and security, or after you come through arrivals. The airport does not publish a signed or marked smoking spot, so stay outside the terminal, clear of the entrance doors.
Vaping
The same enclosed-space ban covers vapes: Colombia’s Law 2354 of 2024 puts e-cigarettes and heated tobacco under the same rule as cigarettes. Vape outside the terminal building at Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, on the landside.

Bogotá’s El Dorado Airport, Colombia’s main gateway, follows the same rule — see the landside-only outdoor smoking areas at El Dorado — and our guide to smoking during layovers covers connecting through an airport with no airside smoking area.
