Medellín is a city in Colombia.

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

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.
