It's a spot I used when going to Montevideo. It's on the turn to some houses. Although it doesn't have a lot of space for cars to stop it's after the turn which a lot of people take. When I tried just after roundabout but it didn't work so good even with a planty of space to stop.rating: 2/5, wait: 60 min, ride: 196 km →

If it is often long waiting times til we hitch a ride from Chuí towards Pelotas. If that has been the case with you, I'd recommend writing on a paper the name of one of these places on the way: Mangueiras or Quatro irmãos. These are some sort of farms on the way, there's absolutely nothing around these farms, but trucks come in and out loading stuff produced by in the region. This can be a way of moving some kilometers if you are stuck, since truck drivers might want to pick you up thinking that you're coming to work on those places or something like that.―Anonymous, July 2019

We first tried to hitchhike to go southwards from a gas station inside the city (Ancap) but almost all drivers were returning to the city or heading north. We got a ride from there to a point outside of the city (about 5km) where many trucks stop. There were dozens of them parked on the left side of the road when going south. We waited less than a minute until the first truck went out of that parking and picked us up!―Anonymous, November 2015

Not a good spot. My friend and I waited for hours and he had to sleep in a gas station and try again next days. Besides the fact that is a dangerous neighborhood.―Anonymous, March 2015

I hitch hiked here to Santa Victoria do Palmar, on october 2013. A man stopped his car for me and leave me in a good point in Santa Vitoria to hitch hike to Porto Alegre. From Chuy (Uruguay) to the Brazilian front office you have to walk like 3 km. I recomend to go very early in the morning.―Lolangarros, December 2013

Good place to hitch-hike to Uruguay direction.―Anonymous, February 2013

I don't know exactly where it is to point in the map, but I was here hitchhiking with a friend and everybody was telling us to go to the "virgenzita" (little Madonna) which is on top of a hill guess it's around 8km from downtown. People said it's comun to see people hitchhiking there. When we were walking and hitchhiking in the same time going to this place, someone stopped and took us to the aduana (customhouse) which I guess all the trucks getting to Uruguay have to stop to check their documentation. There we spent 20minutes untill a truck stopped and we asked the brazilian driver to take us. He took us to Minas de Corrales.―Anonymous, January 2013

Daqui voc pode pegar carona tanto pro oeste do Rio Grande do Sul, quanto para o sul do estado. Se voc vai pro Uruguay sem uma cidade especfica como destino, voc pode fazer uma placa simplesmente com o nome "URUGUAY", porque da vc pode conseguir uma carona (assim como eu consegui) que te leve at a fronteira no oeste do pas.COMO CHEGAR AQUI?
- Pegar o nibus que vai pra Guaba (custou r$7,50 em jan/2013, mas talvez existissem opes mais baratas, no pesquisei muito)
- Pedir pra descer no ponto de nibus logo depois do pedgio e do Posto da Polcia Rodoviria (marcado no mapa).
- V pra sado do posto de gasolina que est a do lado do posto policial. Se estiver ruim, voc pode voltar at o pedgio e tentar carona l. No posto policial eles vieram dizer pra gente que no se pode pedir carona.
