Tried taking the ferry first, but it only goes with 4 or more people, so we decided to hitchhike. We hitched while walking to the main road and got a ride straight to Salto.

Bus stop. Sign "Paysandu".

Bus stop easily accesable by a service road. Sign "Montevideo".

Easy to get a ride to Ruta 9 and 10.

Don't visit the park. It has a very lonely Jaguar in a too small enclosure. The hitching back to the city is easy though. We were 3 guys and got a ride in the back of a small pickup.

not a great place to stop as there isnt a long stop area but south americans will usually stop

good spot just off a roundabout with a long place to stop

Cars stop at the side of the road and have a market closer

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.

Easy to get a ride from the immigration checkpoint. Plenty drivers heading south to Punta del Diablo/Castillos

Nice place to go to punto del diablo or chuy (Brasil bouderie)

Nice spot to go to rocha

Nice spot to go to paloma. Not good to go to Castillo. If you want go to Castillo, éter to go to paloma, rocha and then castillo.

Nice spot to go to Castillo

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.

20 minutes Cars drive too fast

waited about 3 hours for a ride to Melo. Little traffic, mostly local cars.

we went by walking to Cabo POlonio and got a free ride from a truck for tourists.

a spot just after a speed bump

Waited about 20 min (in a couple male+female). There is no good position further up the road as a highway starts soon.

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.

Good place to hitch-hike to Uruguay direction.

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.

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.
