→South towards Manizales, Pereira, Armenia, Cali
The northern neighbourhoods tend to be poorer than the southern ones.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== South towards [[CaldasManizales]], [[Cali (Colombia)|CaliPereira]], [[PereiraArmenia]], [[ManizalesCali]] ===From last Take the main metro station ''Itagüi'' it is a line A (03/2022: COP 3 min walk ,000) to the [[autopista del sur]] (towards [[Caldas]])final stop "La Estrella". From there either walk 10 min When leaving the station, take the exit to a notyour right-that-perfect gas station or take a hand side and ask around for the bus/hitch further down(COP 2,550) going to the "Pan de Azúcar" neighborhood. About 4 km further south Ask the bus driver to point you towards the pedestrian bridge ("puente peatonal") crossing the highway to [[Cali going South (Colombia"Autopista Sur")|Cali]], [[Pereira]], [[Manizales]] begins. If It should also be marked on your map though. On the other side of that bridge you want will find a Terpel gas station, walk 1–2 km uphill(06°08′21.98″N 75°37′56.44″W). No safety problems hereThis is where you can start hitchhiking and asking people for a ride.
=== North to [[Cartagena]], East to [[Bucaramanga]] ===
There is also a gas station on the road between the metro stations ''Belo'' and ''Niquia'' but it doesn't seem to be very useful.
=== East/South-East to [[Bogotá]], [[Rionegro]], [[Guatape]] ===
Take the metro north and stop at "Madera" station. Walk South and cross the bridge towards Zamora neighbor. Just after the bridge, there is a petrol station where you can ask rides.
You can also walk 500 meters more following the highway to reach a second gaz station. The hitchhiking spot is better from the second one.
=== South-East to [[Sonson]] via Route 56 ===
:''I hitchhiked from Medellin to Ipiales Colombia in 2015. There has been additional metro stops built, get off at La Estrella and you will be closer to the petrol stations for hitchhiking south to Cali'' -[[User:HoboSpirit|HoboSpirit]]
:''Hitchhiked from Medellin to Pasto in May 2016. From Medellin get a bus (or hitch-hike) to Caldas. Just oustide town you will find a petrol station with lots of trucks (they call it "Mulas") parked there heading to Pasto or Buenaventura. There you get a better chance to get anywhere south'' - Diastema81

I hitch hiked from Medellin to Argelia. Although there are not a lot of cars, it has been very easy. People are super friendly and open at this area. For this reason there was no need to go to a gas station or tool bothtoll booth. I just started directly at the highway. Since there are not a lot of cars at the 56 you might have to accept some short rides. -[[User:Bonaire]]
