The northern neighbourhoods tend to be poorer than the southern ones.

 ==Hitching OutHitchhiking out == ===Southtowards [[Manizales]], [[Pereira]], [[Armenia]], [[Cali]] ===From last Take the main metro line A (03/2022: COP 3,000) to the final stop "La Estrella". When leaving the station itagüi it is 3 min walk , take the exit to your right-hand side and ask around for the autopista del sur bus (COP 2,550) going to the "Pan de Azúcar" neighborhood.Ask the bus driver to point you towards caldasthe pedestrian bridge ("puente peatonal") crossing the highway going South ("Autopista Sur"). From there either walk 10 min to It should also be marked on your map though. On the other side of that bridge you will find a not-that-perfect Terpel gas station (06°08′21.98″N 75°37′56.44″W). This is where you can start hitchhiking and asking people for a ride. === North to [[Cartagena]], East to [[Bucaramanga]] ===Take the metro north to the last station ''Niquia'', just outside is the road towards [[Cartagena]]. Walk up the road about 3 kms to the Toll booth ('Peaje') or take a bus/hitch further downtaxi. It's best to ask drivers directly.  There is a little truck stop just before the toll booth: you can ask the guy in the hut if anyone is going your way... but there doesn't seem to be much traffic there. About 4km further south  There is also a gas station on the road between the highway metro stations ''Belo'' and ''Niquia'' but it doesn't seem to be very useful. === East/South-East to cali[[Bogotá]], pereira[[Rionegro]], manizales begins[[Guatape]] ===Take the metro north and stop at "Madera" station. If Walk South and cross the bridge towards Zamora neighbor. Just after the bridge, there is a petrol station where you want can ask rides.You can also walk 500 meters more following the highway to reach a gas second gaz station walk 1. The hitchhiking spot is better from the second one. === South-2km uphillEast to [[Sonson]] via Route 56 ===Take a bus to Avenida Las Palmas. No safety problems I started in Poblado, which is still in the city but worked fine. From hereyou can either directly start to hitch hike or take a bus to Las Palmas where you find a Toll booth (Peaje). ===North=Personal Experiences ==Cartagena:''As the most well-ordered city in the country, from the public transit makes it easy to get out of this city. From the last metro station bello to the north, for example, you are can get a city bus to Barbosa, from which the hitch to Bucaramanga can begin!'' -[[User:Chael777|Chael777]] :''March 2014; the metro line wasn't running all the way South, so I went to Envigado, and began walking from there. Found many petrol stations but proved difficult to get rides. Finally I got to Caldas where truckers got me out of town. In all, it took me about 7 hours to finally get out of the city, but I blame my negative energy on that day" -[[User:Lukeyboy95|Lukeyboy95]] :''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 road towards Cartagenapetrol 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 {{IsIn|Colombia}}
