Return from Mirador de las Lineas de Nazca to Nazca. Traffic is medium (it can be very dense at the end of day) Plenty of space for cars to stop

Nice spot, no shade We get a ride straight to Chiclayo but I think it's easy to go to Sullana o Piura

Im not sure why this spot was so bad but I couldnt get a ride here despite there being a load of trucks and other very hitchable vehicles

December 2024, 9:30 a.m., Some people are nice but Peru is no good country for hitchhiking and many people want to have money

November 2024, 21:00, nice helpful people, but Peru is not really good for hitchhiking and many people want to have money :(

Took the bus to Cono Norte from the centre of town and then walked a few minutes. Barely had time to drop our bags and lift our thumbs that an Italian tourist with a rented car stopped to give us a lift. The road between Arequipa and Puno is absolutely gorgeous!

Looked like a good stop but we had such a hard time hitchhiking to the border with Bolivia (there were two of us, a guy and a girl). A beautiful green Volvo truck ended up stopping and taking us to the next town where we were stranded for three hours.

Peaje. Sunny, there is a place to stop. It costed me 10 soles to get here. I gave up after 2 hours, but I heard that trucks are going in afternoon.

Peaje. I tried for 2 hours closer to the city, with no luck. (close to petrol station) No shade, but got picked up quite quickly. There is a space before and after peaje. A bit of Venezuelanos are trying to hitchhike, which can make drivers a bit more scared.

Went with @crazyrik. (4 people) I'd say we were really lucky to get a truck here, but pretty sure if you wait long enough a big truck is gonna take you pretty far.

Many trucks passing by. Rather go early

Waited a long time. A few trucks passing by. (3 people)

On the panamerican highway its super easy to find a hitch. Loads of trucks. (3 people)

We (3 People) waited for ages and went down the road. At that spot was a police controlpoint - they helped us by convincing a truck driver.

ok place, most people drive to Arequipa but if zpu get a truck it will quite possibly go to the Bolivian border

Don't wait at the bottom where the shops end. Stand as close as possible to the toll gate and use a sign with destination. We got a lot more reactions that way.

So get off the bus/car earlier, so that you don't end in Aguas Verdes

AS FOREIGNERS: DON'T GO TO AGUAS VERDES! You have to cross the border more in the south, the street is caled 'frontera', I think. We had to take some motos to get there and they were dropping us in the wrong place - so if you take motos: make sure that they drop you at the entrance to Ecuador/exit of Peru and not at the entrance to Peru!!

We waited here to get to Suillana

This road is cool as hell. Take it step by step, accept short rides. First guy who took me told me of his journeys in St. Barthelemy and Peru before sending me on my way with a Red Bull and a “bueno suerte”

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.

Heading to the border with Peru. Although the road is friendly to stop cars and people around are really pleasant, the traffic is extremely(!) low. It's possible to rely only on good luck to get a ride to Peru, when taking local rides is not recommended except you are ok walking few days and camp. After 50-60 km south from Vilcabamba, there is no paved road up to the border and dirt road is usually in a bad condition due to rains, sometimes even closed.

Desde aqui se puede ir tanto como para Guayaquil , Cuenca , o la frontera con Peru
