== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[San Martin de los Andes]]/[[Villa La Angostura]]/[[Chile]]===
You can take the 71 /81 bus for 12 pesos (~1 USD, as of December 2014) to [[Dina Huapi]] (about 15km north of Bariloche), but you'll need to ask if they're going there. Some do and some don't. Alternately, you can take the 33 bus to Dina huapi with las grutas- if you don't have a las grutas card, just ask some other passenger to use theirs, and give them cash. Cost was 190 pesos ($0.50 USD) in March 2023. Stay on the bus until it turns off the main road. You can ask the driver, but it's pretty obvious, and there's a stop as soon as it turns. Depending on which 71 you're on, you'll either have to walk about 100m or 1km Walk along the road to a police checkpoint along a curve where traffic slows considerably and people can pick you up. Another way is a traffic light right next to the bus terminal within walking distance of the town center (3 km).
You can also always start hitching on the main road inside the city which seems to have a lot of tradition. Chances are good you will be picked up before the bus even arrives.
To continue on RN40, you need to take the turnoff at [[Villa La Angostura]]. If you want to get to Chile, continue with traffic on RN231; check details in the [[Villa La Angostura]] article. An alternative route to [[San Martin de los Andes]] could be via [[Villa Traful]] on RP65. Herefore, continue on RN237 instead of hopping off at [[Dina Huapi]] and take the turnoff at the ACA petrol station when Rio Traful hits in Rio Limay.
