The main and faster companies are Expresso Brasilia, Copetran, Berlinas for getting by bus to Taganga from all Colombia. We use to recommend Berlinas because it is a family business, like Divanga Hostel (but bigger!!)
Their big buses include seats that you can lie down and travel sleeping in night bus.
Remember to cover yourself very well, they use the air conditioning very cold.
