== Eating Personal experiences =={{infoneeded''Hitchking towards Ibague, Feb´22: We took the TransMilenio to San Mateo and then a minibus to Cruze Sibate. In the second petrol station we talked with drivers and we catched a ride from there to Fusagasuga. In the middle of the route another ride to the next toll gate and from there directly to Ibagué.'' -[[User:Patagonia.almundo2018|Free or cheap food}}patagonia.almundo]]
