=== 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.
=== Southwest towards [[São Paulo]] (BR116) ===
Going out towards São Paulo is a little trickier. The SuperVia commuter rail leaves from Estação Central do Brasil in downtown (connected to the Metro station 'Central'). Take a SuperVia train (Japeri (blue) Line) to Nova Iguaçu, from there get a bus to the Dutra highway (BR116) where there are some gas stations. It's rather a long trip from Rio Centre by train, but it is possible to get to São Paulo in the day.
You can also === Southwest towards [[São Paulo]] === ====BR-116==== Pedágio Viúva Graça. From ''Terminal Rodoviário Coronel Américo Fontenelle'' which is behind the ''Central do Brasil'' (Central Train Station) and close to Metro station ''Central'' take bus 193C to Paracambi. It starts from platform D bay 07, is run by a company called Transportes Blanco and costs 8.50 reais. Get off at the train first bus stop behind pedágio (toll plaza). The stop is located around 300m behind the toll booths and it's a perfect lay-by to pull in a car or truck. The bus ride to this spot takes around two hours, but you're well behind the metropolitan area of Rio, practically in the stations after Nova Iguacu, Comendador Soares countryside. Next to the bus stop there's a restaurant and Queimadossupermarket. Both are relatively short walks (>2km) from In case of bad luck you can walk to Posto Big Dutra with Petrobras petrol station located two kilometres up the highway (BR116)road. Cariocas reacted BR-116 is also called Presidente Dutra and is the main road connecting Rio with some apprehension at São Paulo. All trucks go this way, not by the coastal BR-101. ====BR-101==== Take the idea of going bus (he took it very close to Queimados at allLapa, 2.75 reals, let alone 30min+-) to hitchhikeSanta Cruz (just ask some people where to take the bus, easy as bonjour), but get off at the place was last stop of BR-101 where there is a very safe big supermarket called Extra, walk 200 meters down the road where there is a petrol station. Another opinion : it is easier to walk throughget bus to Itaguay and get off in BR-101 before entering the town , it is less tricky than Santa Cruz where if you don't speak good Portuguese you can easily get lost.
From the highway, you can walk another little ways to some petrol stations, though there was been success getting a ride right off of the highway === Northeast towards [[Vitória]] (from QueimadosBR101)===
Other option: [[User:Bruegel|Bruegel]] preferred In order to go south by hitch out of Rio towards Vitória and up along the coast you need to pick up a bus from the beautiful Costa Verde (touristy Parati is on this way too). You take centre or the bus (he took it very close ''rodoviária'' which takes you to Lapa, 2Itaboraí.75 reals, 30min+-) Even better is to get a van ride to Santa Cruz (just Itaboraí and ask some people where the van driver to take leave you on the bus, easy as bonjour), get off road or at the last stop of BR-101 where there gas station near by which is a very big supermarket called Extra, walk 200 meters down useful for picking up the road where there is a petrol stationinitial ride.
Another opinion (Nadita): it is easier to get bus to Itaguay and get off in BR-101 before entering the town , it is less tricky than Santa Cruz where if you don't speak good Portuguese you can easily get lost.

Rio in , a capital of the state areas is one of 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 bearing the easier it's going to be. Hitchhiking is still not so easy. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] found hitching in Brazil with a clean and shaved shaved look fairly easysame name.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== 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.
