Take the bus which is going direction [[Arembepe]],which is the hippi willage hippy village close to Salvador.U you can take the bus close to Plaza de Sa Fe(on Pelurinho) or from the main bus station Rodoviaria or as well close to Rodoviaria – next to the Salvador Shopping Center. This bus cost like a normal bus – 2,3 reais. U You can ask the driver to get dropped after the payment for the roads (in french Peage,even though I am not french I cant find the better word – 10 km behind Salvador city).It's not the best place,but for me worked,because there u can even ask for a help security guys,who will ask for u you at the peage directly or just hitch-hike there (there is a lot of space – the thing is,that as well the road is going in one way to the coast/beach and other to coastal way direction Aracaju). Or u you can go till [[Arembepe]],which is already on the way or [[Praia de Forte]]. I havent haven't asked how far these buses are going,but [[Arembepe]] is pretty far already (26 km from Salvador).

This way is highly frequented by a small cars,the trucks doesnt doesn't go this way mostly – though the trucks going to [[Aracaju]], [[Recife]], [[Maceió]] are avoiding the colos of Salvador and going trough [[Feira de Santana]] up on the road BR101 direction [[Alagoinhas]]. -- Suzann

Get the bus from any place of [[Salvador]] which is going to direction Jaqueira. Get out on the last or the almost last station - this one should be better for hitchiking. But be carefullcareful,u you will appear in between favelas. The last station is terminal,so u you would have to walk a bit to highway. Jaqueira and before is passing on the main road leading out of salvador Salvador which in [[Feira de Santana]] is connecting with BR101 - which goes from north to east and u you can continue there to the west as well. [[Feira de Santana]] is the main nod for heavy transportation on Bahia. On the spot I mentioned I have been like 2 minutes till I got a ride,so its really easy spot. -- Suzann
