'''Ecuador''' is great for [[hitchhiking]], just be careful in some places, especially at the Coastcoast. Many pick-up trucks are there. Drivers might ask for money, but if you are a Westerner can explain your situation you might will get away with thatit. Many Ecuadorians are happy to pick up a foreigner. It's not the safest country to hitchhike though.
Along the Panamericana there are several Toll-Stations ("Peaje"). Take a Bus in direction of your destination and get out at the first Toll-Station (normally 0,25cts - 0,50cts). You have a couple of seconds to ask the other drivers until you get kicked out by the police, but thats normally enough time to find a ride. If you are able to explain your situation in Spanish, you might be able to stay longer.
