Hitchhiking out
North toward Quito
Take a $.25 bus for San Andres and get off at the peaje.
South toward Cuenca
The city of Riobamba never ends so if you want to go south the best option that we found was to take a bus $0.6 to Colta (20-25 Km) in Avenida Pedro Vicente Maldonado. You get off in Laguna Colta and from there you can start, in that spot we waited just one minute and caught a ride to Alausi (75km). -@Patagonia.almundo May 2022.
