Setting: two guys, one Latin looking, the other one obvious foreignerOn our way to Cartagena we had a really lucky shot here. After standing here for about an hour, seeing ourselves already stepping back to the centre of the village where buses are leaving towards north there was suddenly one of this big container trucks stopping for us. The driver assinged us to sit behind the container in the very back. One of the most amazing rides I ever had! The driver told us that in case that the police would stop us he had claimed that we would have jumped illegally on the back and he wouldn't know about us. So we feared every time when the police was standing at the verge of the road but seriously, they've seen us more than three times, a police car overtook us, military motorbikes passed by and no one was interesed in the fact that we sat there enjoying the panorama and the feeling of freedom. Thanks to the unknown driver for this great adventure!

Not a great spot, but still useful if you do not want to go inside Monteria. Try waiting just after the roundabout, you have a road that skips the city and bring you on the road 23 to Medellin.Remember you can also stop motos, you have higher chances to have short moto rides until Planeta Rica !
From there it took me 2 motos and 2 cars in 3 hours to get to Planeta Rica.

If you can get there, it is a truck-drivers resting area, ideal spot for hitchhiking. They all go to Medellin or to Cartagena in the other way, they drive super slow, you have a lot of space and you can go ask directly to drivers having a break.The exact point is behind "Restaurant La Patrona, Planeta Rica, cordoba" on maps.Took me 10mn to get a ride to Medellin.
