:''In the spring of 2008 me and a Colombian female friend went for some hikes in the countryside around Bogotá. We went to the village of [http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=guatavita&sll=4.835102,-73.560333&sspn=0.714302,1.235962&ie=UTF8&ll=4.921306,-73.850098&spn=0.714211,1.235962&z=10 Guatavita], where a 7 km dirt road leads up to the 'Laguna Sagrada'. On the way a milk truck picked us up. A great experience, standing on the back of a truck driving up a bumpy road, the wind in our hair. On the way back we easily scored a ride back to Bogotá, in a car with a bank employee who liked talking about football. The dirt roads in the countryside are not busy, but everybody seems willing to pick you up. Same experience in Puente Nacional late one evening, where we got a ride from a farmer for a few pesos.'' --[[User:Leimac|Leimac]] 21:50, 25 September 2008 (CEST)

:''I hitchhiked through Colombia in 2010. After making it across the Darién Gap by hitchhiking on speedboats, I went through most of the Colombian Andean territory. It is a fantastic country, and the only place where the truckers let me ride in the little space between the cab and the trailer!'' -[[User:Themodernnomad|themodernnomad]]
