From Belo Horizonte to Ouro Preto (MG) or Rio de Janeiro you can hitchhike a bit farther from the shopping mall "BH Shopping", after the junction of the two main roads BR 040 and BR 356. It is common to see people hitchhiking there.
'''HOW TO GET HERE''' Check Google Maps how to see how you can get to Trevo da Mutuca the school called Pedro Nava, which is located at the junction where of the main roads BR 040 and BR 356 meet. Ask to get off the bus at Trevo da Mutuca, which should be the name of that junction. Then you walk to somewhere by the main road where you can start and lift your thumb towards Rio de Janeiro / Ouro Preto. A sign might help, as the cars usually pass quite fast here. You might even see people hitchhiking at this spot on [http://www.leocarona.com.br/2012/05/google-street-view-flagra-rapaz-pedindo.html?lang=pt Google Street View].
'''ON THE WAY''' If you're heading to the city of Ouro Preto or surroundings and the person who picked you up is going towards Rio de Janeiro, ask them to drop you off at Alphavile, it is a very known condominium at the corner of the road that you'll need to take if you're going to Ouro Preto. Alphavile is also known for a lake named Lago dos Ingleses.
