I went to an amazing place close to the garrucha called quebrada escondida y túnel museo, it cost around 3 dollars the entrance but it really work to see that amazing place made it by a local. The creek at the end of the túnel is spectacular.
At the garrucha the food it’s ok, perfect place to have a drink and enjoy the view, ppl there is very gentle.

Get ready to step into a home built metal lattice cable car and be suspended by two long wire cables as it pulls you and a few others in this make shift cab hundreds of meters above a gorge.
Just be sure to be balanced inside the cab, don’t rock the car off the cables and you will be rewarded with some great views at the top.
The cost is reasonable at like 8,000 pesos and good cold beer at the cafe at the top.
Highly recommend!

The actual ‘car’ has been updated (original up top for pics), but still a bit creeky and you do not want, nor should you make any sudden movements whilst in it. Sometimes, they make you wait for others to call the car.

I will point out we didn’t do the actual cable ride- we walked up to the stop at the top. Views not that good. Do yourself a favour and walk up to the Cristo de raya instead on the other side- the views are better and the man up there is super friendly

I enjoyed the ride and the view from the top. It's a very easy walk from the town center and you can do the whole thing in an hour. Unfortunately the small restaurant on the top can get easily crowded on weekends and there is not much else to do up there. An alternative to get similar views of town is hiring a tut-tut and visit El Cristo statue.

It'll get you to the other side of the ravine for a reasonable price. It's ridiculous to have a minimum number of characters. Please discontinue this requirement.

This funny looking cable car is kind of cool to try. You can take it to go up and walk back through a dirt road and visit the ‘Cascadas del Amor’ or walk up and take it to go down. It takes only a few minutes and the walk is easily done in an hour. At the top, you can enjoy the view while having a drink.

I highly recommend checking out la Garrucha when visiting Jardin, Colombia. The price to go and return is super cheap, and the views of the city, mountains and valley below are incredible! Even more, you can eat some really great food at the top while enjoying the view, and the owner of the place is so kind and welcoming!

It doesn't take long, but its a nice experience. The view from the restaurant at the top is also very nice.

The newer tourist cable car is still broken, but this original remains a must see. The views from the top are quite beautiful. Don't forget to try the eempanadas. An order is only 1000 pesos,and comes with four bite sized pieces of yumminess!
