Hitching Out
Towards Cartagena
Take the pickup truck communal transport along the Cr 46 (Olaya Herrera) until you get to a large concrete bridge at a crosspoint with Circunvalacion on the edge of town. This is the road to Cartagena. Go up the bridge, don't be surprised if people give you fruits and drinks, a short distance away from the bridge is a good hitch point.
North to Cartagena
Go to the last metro station Niquia, just outside is the road towards Cartagena. Walk up the road about 3 kms to the Toll booth ('Payaje') or take a bus/taxi. It's best to ask drivers directly.
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.
