Bogot%C3%A1 is a city in Country.
Hitching out
South towards Ibague/Cali/Ecuador
I hitched out of Bogota on Deceber 13th 2011.
I was advised not to hitch on the side of the road. I was told instead to hit the gas stations and strike conversations with truck drivers. So that's what I did.
So first you want to get to Soacha. To get there, take the TransMileno to the southern-most station, Portal Del Sur. Follow the signs leading to "Autopista del Sur", and take a van going to Soacha. Ask to get dropped off past "El Parque", at the end of town. From there, walk to the Terpel gas station.
