As said, Cordoba is too big to hitchhike directly from. Take a bus from the smaller terminal de omnibus, located between ''Av. Ituzaingo'' and ''Av. Buenos Aires'' on ''Bv. Arturo Illia''. The buses here go into the Sierras to various villages and tourist spots. To go west you need to pick a location on Ruta 20, for example Villa Carlos Paz. I chose Mina Clavero and spent a couple of days relaxing in pools and cascades of the river; after all traveling is about enjoyment. From here Ruta 20 passes a number of small towns and villages in this valley so you are never far from the necessities of life but also never overcrowded like the city- beyond Villa Dolores it becomes quite desolate. The Traffic along this straight is plentiful: I was lucky enough to be picked up within 5 minutes and taken directly to Mendoza.
Another option to go west is by taking city bus (colectivo) number 70 from 27 de Abril street with Mariano Moreno street on the west side of the "La Cañada " river. Ride it till the the giant junction at Don Bosco, where there's a Shell petrol station opposite the bus stop. The route name is E55 and leads past La Calera to the San Roque artificial lake and Carlos Paz. From there you can either choose to explore the Sierras Chicas and/or Grandes de Córdoba as done by [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]], or hitch on to [[Mendoza]] via Villa Dolores.
