In '''Peru''' hitchhiking is quite doable although . Some Peruvians might expect you are usually expected to contribute to fuel cost a little bit. It is nonetheless cheaper to travel by hitchhiking than taking a bus which, in fact, is a pretty cheap way of travelling, toobut if you make your intentions clear you should be alright.
== The Coast ==
That would be all of the Sechura Desert, and the Pan-American highway. Hitchhiking is easier on this highway, and works well around the clock. This is where you will get the longest, smoothest rides of Peru. You will rarely be charged for rides on this sector of the highway. Not to mention the endless swathes of campable desert.
== Personal Experiences ==
''Hitchhiking in Peru is rather easy. After having hitched nearly 2000 km in Peru I have not been asked to contribute any money for the ride. Most rides are in private vehicles and the people are very generous. They like to buy you meals and invite you to their homes." - [[User:Eripson|Eripson]]
 
''I spent around 5 months hitching in Peru. I found that hitching worked well, but markedly less so than its northern neighbor Ecuador. I spent many a long night hour huddled in the back of open-air rig trailers slicing through the cold mountain air. Don't forget that winter gear.'' -[[User:Chael777|Chael777]]
