:" March 2022 - We took a bus (T102-2700 COP) from the city center to the last stop (Crespo). After we walked ten minutes by the route, this is the route parallel to the sea. We stopped before Hotel Las Américas and before the bridge, we hitchhiked there and we catched a ride directly to Barranquilla after one hour. All the cars are going in that way but you know colombians are a bit afraid to stop, it´s easier when you talk with them. Also if you want you can continue by local bus to Boquilla or Centro Comercial Las Ramblas to find another spot" - [[User:Patagonia.almundo2018|@patagonia.almundo]]
:"September 2019: Cartagena -> Barranquilla. I followed the instructions to go to the police checkpoint about 2km further from the Terminal. In hindsight it was a mediocre idea. Everybody in Colombia knows police checkpoints are just for the police to make bribe money. So cars won’t stop for you because they fear the police could still check them. And already stopped cars are in a bad mood because they just needed to pay. Also it’s just a mess with all the standing and passing cars so that you wont get noticed well. Way better would be to take a bus out of town to Bayunca and wait behind one of the speed bumps. Alternatively if you could somehow reach the peaje in the middle between Bayunca and Clemencia this would be an optimal point. From then on in every little town there are speed bumps and gas stations where your chances are higher than near Cartagena." - [[User:Kaulter|Kaulter]]
