''I hitched from Ciudad Guayana to Manaus in 3 days in April 2014. The road was paved and in great condition! The Gran Sabana was very beautiful. Longest wait was two hours at the last town before entering the Amazon. '' -[[user:Dr.Keith|Keith]]

[[user:TowellessTraveler|TowellessTraveler]] hitchhiked all the way to the entrance of Roraima in August 2022. Between the border and Santa Elena de Uairen it is not so hard to find someone. It gets much much harder after. Very few cars pass and are full or only want money. Same for trucks (full, money or women). Be ready to wait for very long hours or even days. Some buses can accept to pick you up for free (especially if you're walking in the middle of nowhere) but only for a short distance (until San Francisco de Yurani for example, the entrance of Roraima). Going further up is even harder and truck drivers said that it does not get easier once you're in the North (still not a lot of people and higher insecurity).

This region was completely safe at that moment despite the crisis in the country.
