Salvador, Brazil

Salvador is a city in Brazil.

Hitching out

North towards Aracaju,Maceió,Recife - the coastal way BA099

Take the bus which is going direction Arembepe,which is the hippi willage close to Salvador. U 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 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 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 can go till Arembepe,which is already on the way or Praia de Forte. I havent 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 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.
