== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Southwest Northeast towards [[IbagueVilla de Leyva]]/, [[CaliSogamoso]]/, [[EcuadorCúcuta]]; North towards [[San Gil]], [[Bucaramanga]], [[Santa Marta]] ===
=== Northwest towards [[Medellín]], [[Manizales]] ===
There is a '''Terpel gas station''' ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=20458 map]) with plenty of trucks going this way. From the bus/transmileneo station "Portal 80", take any bus going towards "Villamery" or "La Florida" and ask to get off at "Parque Agroindustrial de Occidente". It will be right before a pedestrian bridge and a big sign that says "Kokoriko". The staff at this station were hitchhiker-friendly (2014).
It can take 14 hours to get to [[Medellín]] by truck so leave early!

''Hitching towards Ibague, Feb´14: I took a minibus to Soacha and got off when a bus turned from the main road to the town. I stayed at the side of the road, waited about 10 minutes and got a ride from a truck which went to Neiva.'' -[[User:che.apelsin|che.apelsin]]
