Great spot at the gas station, there is signal and you are at the intersection of two roads from where people might go to the east. A 4x4 took us in the back of his car to Jijoca de Jericoacoara.

We got there by taxi with the app "Ubiz car Brazil" for 16R$. There are not so many cars but they all go in the right direction and don't go that fast. There is no signal but "bar do limão" might have Wi-Fi.

This spot looked great as it's a gasoline stop on the way to the east, but it's in the city center and almost none of the cars go out of the city. It's better to try somewhere outside of the city.

Trucks are coming out of the quarry regularly. There is a restaurant, Wi-Fi, and a bathroom. The vehicles on the road pass by fast, but you can ask the truck drivers going out of the quarry. Beware of the sun!

Perfect spot to go to the north west. There is a gas station on the other side of the road, and a lot of space for trucks to stop.

We got there by Uber. It's quite empty but the trucks have a lot of time to see you and space to stop. We found a ride with Rodrigo who took us all the way to Cuiabá. Good luck!

We wanted to go to Foz do Iguaçu so it may have been better to hitch at the exit of Guarapuava instead of the entrance. The spot near the roundabout is great because it's after a speed bump on the highway. You can signal to the drivers on the highway, and those who exit the gas station. There is enough space for cars and truck to park for a few minutes.

We got a ride from a truck driver to Foz do Iguaçu! 🚚

Perfect spot, near the exit of Matinhos and accessible with the free city bus. In twenty minutes, we had one offer to take us for 80 R$, but we waited a bit more and received a valid hitch all the way to Curitiba! 👌

I'm From Brazil, got a ride from here in 10 minutes with a trucker to cuzco.
The only thing that i think is good to point is that, while i was there, an old man was by my side. He was desperated because i was hitchhiking, saying that it wasn't safe.
On the other hand, trucker said that that it was common for him to take hitchhickers there.
Take your on conclusions.
Mine is, i would do that again

To get in this place i asked a man on the street where was the road to cuzco and he indicated me a mini van that would take me here. it costs 0,60 cents.
Transportantion in Peru is extremely cheap.

BRAZIL/ARGENTINA border: very easy to hitchhike here. We did it in both directions and didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes to get a ride to Puerto Iguazu or Foz do Iguacu.

Desk TIMS. This position receives truck toward the Northeast, Southeast, South and other regions of Brazil.

To get at the gas station: If you are in the city of Serra should go to the Terminal de Carapina and take the bus 540 (Terminal de Campo Grande) and ask to get off at Gas Station TIMS.

If in Cariacica or Viana you should go to the Terminal de Campo Grande and take the bus 540 (Terminal de Carapina).

If you are on another City of Grande Vitria Region (Vila Velha and Vitria) just go to Terminal de Carapina and take the bus mentioned above.
