Description
Land borders are still closed with Ecuador. We biked to the border and were told that we could not cross. The options are: taking dirt roads to Tulcan or taking a bus to a big city to then fly to Quito.
1. Dirt road (trocha): we were told there are many robberies along these back roads. Robberies target anybody who might “stick out”. We were told this by local Colombians, ecuatorians in Tulcan whom we had been in touch, people at the bike shops we went, cyclist friends in Ipiales, and migrants who had recently taken the road in which unfortunately they got robbed.
2. Bus: we decided to load our bikes on a bus and go to Cali to catch a flight to Quito. There are many companies but we needed a bus with enough storage space for our bikes. We were recommended Transipiales or Boliviariano. We came to the terminal and got tickets (bring cash; there is also Bancolombia ATM inside the station) for the next day. We recommend buying 12hrs in advance.
Boliviano bus charged 50k pp from Ipiales to Cali, 12hrs. We caught the 8am bus; arrived at 7:15 to make sure we would be ready to load the bikes securely.
Bikes have an extra charge of 30k; you could negotiate this. We did not.
