=== Nortwest and North towards Interior of São Paulo State, [[Goiania]] and [[Brasília|Brasilia]] ===
Make your way to [[Jundiai]] by train. From the centre of Sao Paulo go to Luz Station and get the A train. The fare is around R$ 2.60 80
Once you get to Jundiai station you will need to walk or get a bus through the city to either one of the Rodovias Anchieta or Bandeirantes. Their is a ''posto de gasolina'' and truck stop a little north of the city on the Rodovia Anchieta. Lunchtime is good to find a ''caminhoneiro'' (truck driver) if not there are always truckdrivers trying to fix their trucks. Have a map on you so you familiarise yourself with the many cities in the area when asking for lifts.
There again exist two freeways (''rodovías'') out of São Paulo in the direction of Rio de Janeiro. One is ''Presidente Dutra'' (BR116) which passes close to the airport near Guarulhos and along here there are many posto de gasolina. For something different head to the ''ceasa'' (truck depot) in Guarulhos. From here its possible to get a truck anywhere in Brazil, the size of the place is overwhelming at first.

Simply ask for a intercity bus that goes to the dutra, and start hitching there. While some people do not like hitching directly along the highway, I had no problems getting a ride quickly. Most of the time, there is a wide shoulder, and a grassy area where you can stand. Many people stop their cars on this shoulder regularly, so it is not a problem for them to stop. - two different anonymous hitchhiking friends
