The wind, the dirt track,
and seventy years of climbing
A Willys is an open 1950s jeep. Ask for one in the Quindío, the driver sends you his price, and you pick who takes you up.
Rides carry no surcharge. Not for you, not for the driver.
How you go up here
What the ride feels like
The sides are open
Air comes in from both sides the whole way, and it smells of wet earth.
You hear the engine
On the climb it drops a gear and you feel it through the seat.
Coffee goes past your arm
Coffee plants run along both sides, close enough to touch.
It gets all the way up
An ordinary car does not reach that farm; the Willys pulls into the yard.
Who drives
Seventy-year-old jeeps, and the men who know them by heart
These are not collectors’ cars. They work these tracks every day, with the same man at the wheel for decades.

How it works
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.
1
Say where you are going
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.
2
The drivers send you their price
Only drivers who work that area see your ride. Each one asks what he thinks that dirt road is worth.
3
Pick who takes you
Look at the jeep, the seats and the year. You end up with the driver's name and phone number.
What it costs
What you pay, said plainly
No hidden fares and no charges that show up at the end. This is all there is.
1
The driver sets the price
Nobody else. You see it in full before you choose, and it is the same one you hand over on the day.
2
The ride is paid in cash
To the driver, in his hand, the same day he picks you up. Yipero never touches that money.

In cash, on the day—
3
You pay nothing on top
The price you see is the price you hand over, with nothing added. Yipero charges the driver 2,000 pesos for each ride that gets booked — 5% if the fare goes above 150,000 — and charges you nothing.
4
The price you see is the price you pay
Nothing is added at the end. What the driver asked is what you hand him on the day, and that closes the account.
