====Hitching spots====There really isn't an ideal place to hitch from. However, there is we've tried a few options such as a speed bump right before where Rua Leoberto Leal joins with the main highway. Right after the bump is , a small space that gas station and a car could pull over in to stop without blocking traffic. And then just after that is the entrance ramp to the main highway. Any bus headed towards Biguaçu should bring you herePolice Station (PRF).

===== Just before the highway =====There is a speed bump right before where Rua Leoberto Leal joins with the main highway. Right after the bump is a small space that a car could pull over in to stop without blocking traffic. And then just after that is the entrance ramp to the main highway. Any bus headed towards Biguaçu should bring you here. =====Gas station=====Another option is to stay on the bus to Biguaçu until the end of the line. There is a small gas station here. Most traffic here is not going far and many cars are just turning around to head back into the city 500 meters up the road. But about 8.7 kilometers up the road is a nice sized gas station with easy on/off access from the highway. Any vehicle not turning around should pass it as it is before the turn for Governador Celso Ramos and there really is nothing else between. (Definitely helps though if you speak Portuguese to explain what you want to drivers.) =====Federal Highway Police Station (PRF)=====Some local hitchhikers usually prefer to hitch nearby the PRF's. There's one just after the town of Biguaçu and before the town of Governador Celso Ramos (-27.470548, -48.641283). To get here, take a bus to Terminal Central (TICEN) within Florianópolis island, and then walk to the former bus station (be aware this is NOT the city's bus station - the one you should go to is located next to the Municipal Market). From the former bus station, take a bus towards ''Governador Celso Ramos'', ''Armação'' or ''Palmas''. As of Nov 2018, the bus to ''Governador Celso Ramos'' will cost you R$ 8,10. All the 3 mentioned buses should drive you past the PRF that you want to stand hitchhiking. So, either you ask the bus driver to let you know when you pass by the "Polícia Rodoviária"; you look it up on your phone's map; or you pay attention to what you see outside from the right windows. 100 meters after the PRF is the bus stop where you want to get off. ====Once you got your first ride====Once you got on your first ride out of Florianópolis region towards Curitiba, if they're only driving you for some kilometers (like to the town of Balneário Camboriú for instance), ask them to get off at Itapema PRF (yes, there's another PRF there which is usually a nice spot to hitch from towards Curitiba as well).
