==Hitching out==
The easiest way is to get a bus to San Jose from the terminal (50 pesos, 2017) and ask the driver to stop in front of the gas station that is in the intersection where RN14 starts. Instead of staying at the petrol station where there might not be many cars, go directly to the RN14 start where there is a lot of space for cars to stop. Ask the workers of the gas station if in doubt. Great spot!
As of December 2013, there's a lot of road constructions going on the roads around Posadas, especially at the intersection with and on the Ruta 105 and Ruta 12, if considering hitchhiking towards Santo Tomé. Traffic drives relatively slow at this places, but space to stop is scarce.
From center take city bus #27 until it intersects with the 12. Lots of room for cars to pull over and ther is a Gendarmeria stop another 5-10km further if you can get to that then a ride the rest of the way should be easy.
===North towards [[Encarnacion ]] and [[Paraguay]]===
From the centre, it should be about a 20 minute walks towards the Puente Internacional. Lots of crappy shops and a choripan place to spend the last of your fairly worthless pesos. Busy crossing. No bag searches or heavy questioning. You can not walk across the bridge, but it is easy enough to sneak on the public buses that cross. Tell them you lost your ticket if they enquire. On the Paraguay side, specify you are there for more than a day. Again, you can sneak on the public bus. This will take you past the bus station, public plaza and then further north. When it turns West, get off and follow the main route north towards Asuncion. Pain in the arse to hitch out.
