Get up the mountain in a
local Willys jeep
Post where you are heading. The drivers nearby send you their price. You pick who takes you.
this weekend?
Three steps, no calls
and no haggling
You do not chase anyone. You post the ride once and the drivers of that area answer you.
The place, the day, the time and how many of you. A coffee farm on the road to Filandia, or the Valle de Cocora gate.
Only drivers who work that area see your ride. Each one asks what he thinks that dirt road is worth.
Look at the jeep, the seats and the year. You end up with the driver's name and phone number.
What you pay, said plainly
No hidden fares and no charges that show up at the end. This is all there is.
Nobody else. You see it in full before booking, and it is the same one you hand over on the day.
To the driver, in his hand, the same day he picks you up. Yipero never touches that money.
That is the only thing the platform charges, once, when you confirm the ride.
The driver already held the day for you: he turned down other work and brought the jeep down to the meeting point. We would rather tell you now than afterwards.
Where drivers are running today
Every area has its own drivers and its own back roads. Open yours to see who goes up there.
Drivers who already go up there

He does the early climb to Cocora and the four o'clock run back.
She takes groceries and people up to the El Laurel farms all week.
He knows the Barbas Bremen tracks even when it is pouring.
