→South towards El Bolson/El Calafate
The way out of Bariloche towards El Bolsón is through the barrio 2 de abril, which is rather universally described as a dangerous place and lots of people recommend avoiding it for your own safety and because drivers are also less likely to stop there, due to its reputation.
Hostel owners speak of a few cases per year where people get a ride but are then immediately forced to get out of the car and eave all their stuff with a gun held to their face.
Looking for public transport to get out of town can go a long way. There is usually a fair amount of hitchhikers on some spots on the stretch of RN40 by [[Villa Lago Gutiérrez]], trying to hitch a ride to El Bolsón.[[User:christianmn| Christianmn]] had to wait for a few hours until finally getting picked up, together with a young french couple also hitchhiking in the same place, by a truck driver who was heading to Esquel. However, despite that spot being not highly trafficked (actually, most of the cars were turning at the nearest crossing on the way to Villa Lago Gutierrez), he saw that other hitchhiking groups and couples had better luck and found a driver in approximately less than an hour or even half an hour.
