Hot. Probably the least elevation gain we've ever done, gaining only 42 feet in a whole day's cycling. Wow, did we like Montería. We decided to stay an extra day. The riverside park is absolutely fabulous, and the market interesting. Nice people. Amazing place. Ferries run across the river to various neighborhoods on a cable stretched over the river, just using the flow of the river (and their rudder) to get back and forth.
