Santiago is the capital and by far the largest city of Chile.

Hitchhiking out

Going South

Go to "San Bernardo" - either by Microbus or by hitchhiking. I hitch hiked there but had to wait 1 hour to get to San Bernardo.

There you will find a bus station next to the Ruta 5. Don't go there. Also don't go to the Ramp. The cars are just locals who won't go far.

BUT: Go to the main road of the Ruta 5. There will be a good spot to wait. The cars go damn fast, but there is space to pull over the car. One hitchhiker waited almost 1 hour to get out. Switching from the ramp to the side and the main road until finally a truck stopped for me.


Going North

towards La Serena

Go to "Puente Cal y Canto" metro station (2nd line) and find Avenida La Paz, follow this street to La Paz Terminal and from there take a bus with the sign "Panamericana" (800 pesos, if youre lucky - for free). Take a seat in front and search for a spot you like or ask the driver for "lugar para hacer dedo", perhaps he knows. There is for example one on-ramp near big truck station, cars are going about 60 - 70 km/h so its possible to hitchhike, I waited less then 30 min there.
