 '''Montevideo''' is the capital of [[Uruguay]]. Whether arriving to or departing from Montevideo, expect to use public transportation to get you into/out of town.

===North towards [[Canelones]] (Ruta 5), West towards [[Colonia del Sactamento]], [[Argentina]] (Ruta 1) === '''Option 1''Bus 163' You can take bus #137 (Paso de la Arena), #370 (Cerro) or 17 (Casabo) from the roundabout at Palacio Legislativo. These buses most likely also pass downtown. The bus stop is behind the Palacio, next to the José Batlle y Ordóñez monument. The price for one ticket is $24 (November 2014). Get out at Av. Dr. Carlos Maria Ramirez, esq. (crossing with) Concordia. Ask somebody on the bus if you are not sure. If you miss it, you'll see yourself driving over the Ruta 1 highway, then just get out at the first next stop. From Concordia crossing, walk right into the side-road next to the bridge. You'll find yourself standing at the highway. Walk up about 200m to the on-ramp. You can use this ramp to hitchhike cars both on the highway and driving onto it. This place is also fine for hitchhiking towards La Paz, Canelones or [[Florida (Uruguay)|Florida]] along Ruta 5. From the on-ramp, well away from the city for about 1km, where Ruta 5 seperates. You will have better luck here as the initial on-ramp is a little busy.  '''Option 2''':  Take a bus from anywhere of Montevideo with number 163 which will put u on the road 1. Do not get out on the first crossing of the highway, but on second. Ask the driver to tell you where. In Uruguay there are generally very little number of cars as the country is low populated. '''Option 3''' Take bus #127 (Delta del Tigre/Barra Santa Lucía) (U$36) and indicate to the bus driver that you want to get off at Peaje Santa Lucía. The bus runs by the corner of Avenida General Rondeau/Paysandú street. This peaje is the first toll booth on Ruta 1 leading towards Colonia de Sacramento and a great and easy spot to hitchhike out of Montevideo.  ===East towards [[Atlántida]], [[Maldonado]] (IB), [[Brazil]]=== If you plan to hitchhike east along the ''Interbalnearia'', a good start might be at the Carrasco airport. You could wait for hours can take the local bus #109 to find someone or walkParque Roosevelt until the last stop, where the Parque R. begins.It can take you about 30-45min from Centro.You then just follow the road for about 1 km, and you'll situate yourself at a roundabout which marks the beginning of the IB. But in general this spot should Behind the roundabout, there's a bus stop with plenty of space to stop cars. However, it might be good onedifficult to hitch from there as the road splits just a few kilometers further and many people don't go far. :''We A quicker (although more expensive) option is to take a bus to peaje Pando (Julien Pando toll booth) from France the start of Avenida Italia across the bus terminal Tres Cruces. Ask the locals which bus runs there and metell the driver that you want to get off at peaje Pando (it is the first peaje). The bus costs 64 pesos (March 2015) found . From the toll booth it is quite easy to hitchhike. This option has the advantage that you start a ride in 10 minutesbit further outside of Montevideo and are already behind the airport and the split of the road.   ===East towards [[Minas]], [[Treinta y Tres]] (Ruta 8), [[Brazil]]=== If hitchhiking out towards Brazil, one can either take the IB along the coast or the Ruta 8,even though that for me alone in any part depending on the destination. Hitchhiking out of Urugay it took Montevideo towards Ruta 8, one can take the local bus #D8 to CNO Maldonado. Get out at least 2 hours Ruta 8, Gral J.A. Lavalleja y Angel Zanelli.
