Going to Brazil
According to some hitchhikers, it is quite possible to hitch all the way on this route (from Ciudad Guayana to Manaus), although it might take some time (~4 days), and the road is in quite a pity condition. Although it is common in Venezuela to take passengers on the back of pick-ups, in Brazil such practice is not allowed.

Personal Experiences
When in the Venezuelan Andes 3 mates and I once hitched the 50km or so back to the city of Merida as we had no idea when the next bus was. We got a lift in the back of a pickup truck in around 15 minutes and got a lift straight to Merida no problem. Scenery was amazing and the back of a pick up is a far better way to experience the place than an overcrowded bus. - April 07 2010
