From Another opinion (Nadita): it is easier to get bus to Itaguay and get off in BR-101 before entering the highwaytown , it is less tricky than Santa Cruz where if you don't speak good Portuguese you can walk another little ways easily get lost. === Northeast towards [[Vitória]] (BR101) ===In order to hitch out of Rio towards Vitória and up along the coast you need to pick up a bus from the centre or the ''rodoviária'' which takes you to some gas stations, though there was been success getting Itaboraí. Even better is to get a van ride right off of to Itaboraí and ask the van driver to leave you on the road or at the gas station near by which is very useful for picking up the highway (from Queimados) initial ride.

Rio in , a capital of the state areas is one of bearing the easiest places in all Brazil to hitchhike as there's no competition from other hitchers and people are accustomed to foreigners and like to help them. The more foreign looking you seem and act the easier it's going to be. Hitchhiking is still not so easysame name.
== Hitching Hitchhiking out ===== Northeast towards [[Vitória]] (BR101) ===In order to hitch out of Rio towards Vitória and up along the coast you need to pick up a bus from the centre or the ''rodoviária'' which takes you to Itaboraí.

=== Southwest towards [[São Paulo]] (BR116) =======BR-116====Going out towards São Paulo * '''Pedágio Viúva Graça'''From ''Terminal Rodoviário Coronel Américo Fontenelle'' which is a little trickier. The SuperVia commuter rail leaves from Estação behind the ''Central do Brasil in downtown '' (connected Central Train Station) and close to the Metro station ''Central')' take bus 193C to '''''Paracambi'''''. Take a SuperVia train (Japeri (blue) Line) to Nova IguaçuIt starts from platform D bay 07, from there get is run by a company called Transportes Blanco and costs 8.50 reais. Get off at the first bus to the Dutra highway stop behind pedágio (BR116toll plaza) where there are some gas stations. ItThe stop is located around 300m behind the toll booths and it's rather a long trip from Rio Centre perfect lay-by trainto pull in a car or truck. The bus ride to this spot takes around two hours, but it is possible you're well behind the metropolitan area of Rio, practically in the countryside. Next to get the bus stop there's a restaurant and supermarket. In case of bad luck you can walk to Posto Big Dutra with Petrobras petrol station located two kilometres up the road. BR-116 is also called Presidente Dutra and is the main road connecting Rio with São Paulo in . All trucks go this way, not by the daycoastal BR-101.
====BR-101====Other option: [[User:Bruegel|Bruegel]] preferred to go south by the beautiful Costa Verde (touristy Parati is on this way too). You can also take the train bus (he took it very close to two of the stations after Nova IguacuLapa, Comendador Soares and Queimados2. Both are relatively short walks (>2km75 reals, 30min+-) from the highway to Santa Cruz (BR116). Cariocas reacted with just ask some apprehension at people where to take the idea of going to Queimados at allbus, let alone to hitchhikeeasy as bonjour), but get off at the place was last stop of BR-101 where there is a very safe to big supermarket called Extra, walk through200 meters down the road where there is a petrol station.
=== In [[Itataia]] ===
Hitching in the Itataia region in the northwest part of the state is very easy, it's got a community of Europeans that will pull up even if you don't ask.
