Rio in , a capital of the state areas bearing the same name.   == Hitchhiking out ==  === Southwest towards [[São Paulo]] === ====BR-116==== Pedágio Viúva Graça. From ''Terminal Rodoviário Coronel Américo Fontenelle'' which is one of behind the easiest places in all Brazil ''Central do Brasil'' (Central Train Station) and close to hitchhike as thereMetro station ''Central''s no competition take bus 193C to Paracambi. It starts from other hitchers platform D bay 07, is run by a company called Transportes Blanco and people are accustomed to foreigners costs 8.50 reais. Get off at the first bus stop behind pedágio (toll plaza). The stop is located around 300m behind the toll booths and like it's a perfect lay-by to help thempull in a car or truck. The more foreign looking bus ride to this spot takes around two hours, but you seem and act 're well behind the metropolitan area of Rio, practically in the countryside. Next to the easier itbus stop there's going a restaurant and supermarket. In case of bad luck you can walk to bePosto Big Dutra with Petrobras petrol station located two kilometres up the road. Hitchhiking BR-116 is also called Presidente Dutra and is still the main road connecting Rio with São Paulo. All trucks go this way, not so by the coastal BR-101. ====BR-101==== Take the bus (he took it very close to Lapa, 2.75 reals, 30min+-) to Santa Cruz (just ask some people where to take the bus, easyas bonjour), get off at the last stop of BR-101 where there is a very big supermarket called Extra, walk 200 meters down the road where there is a petrol station.

==Hitching out=====Northeast towards [[Vitória]]===Hitching out of Rio towards Vitória and up the coast you need to pick up a bus from the centre or the rodoviária which takes you to Itaboraí. Even better Another opinion : it is easier to get a van ride bus to Itaboraí Itaguay and ask get off in BR-101 before entering the van driver to leave town , it is less tricky than Santa Cruz where if you don't speak good Portuguese you on the road or at the gas station near by which is very useful for picking up the initial ridecan 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 Itaboraí. Even better is to get a van ride 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 initial ride.   ===In [[Itataia]]=== Hitching in the Itataia Region region in the North West 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.  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
