== Hitching Out out ==
=== Nortwest and North towards Interior of São Paulo State, [[Goiania]] and [[Brasilia]] ===
''"I waited a long time at one petrol station because I was lazy and couldn't be bothered asking people. I did find a ride after two hours to Campinas which left me having to do the same thing again at another Petrol Station. I let a few rides go because many motorists didn't know the town i wanted to go to even though it was on their way"'' - The author and hitch-hiker
=== East towards [[Rio de Janeiro]] (BR116) ===
There again exist two freeways (rodovias''rodovías'') out of Sao São Paulo in the direction of Rio de Janeiro. One is ''Presidente Dutra '' (BR116) which heads closer passes close to the Airport airport near Guarulhos, and along here there are many posto de gasolina. For something different head to the Ceasa ''ceasa'' (Truck Depottruck depot) in Guarulhos. From here its possible to get a truck anywhere in Brazil, the size of the place is overwhelming at first.
''"I had to sleep in the Ceasa waiting for the one truck going to the Bolivian border but the truckies looked after us and we had free showers and food"'' - two anonymous hitchiking friends
=== North towards [[Belo Horizonte]] ===
