* User "[[User:Miriam|Miriam]] hitched around the south of Brazil for several weeks on her own in 2017 without running into major problems, met only super nice and friendly people, got rides easily and was never confused for a prostitute or treated without respect, as the above contributors sadly experienced. Two minor problems were: 1.) People automatically assuming hitchhikers are Argentinian and staying clear because of the rivalry between both countries (sadly). If you're a non-argentinian foreigner, consider carrying your country's flag! 2.) Lots and lots of traffic on giant, unstoppable highways. If possible, stick to nice and cozy interior roads which makes for amazing experiences on it's own! :)"
* “I was hitchhiking for a month in Brazil July 2022. I had a problem to enter from Peru to Bolivia and managed to solve it by entering Brazil. I had a plan to do a route in Brazil around Bolivia and enter it from the east.
In general the experience was quite rough and I decided to cut the route shorter and enter Bolivia from the east.
Although I had many good experiences with people in Brazil,
The overall feeling in many places I was in The regions of Rodonia and Acre was quite tense. A lot of people warned me from robbers and hitmans.
Hitchhiking was also very slow. Which eventually made me make my decision to cut the trip short.
I would also like to mention that although it was hard, many times people offered me places to stay, free food, and were very friendly. Once a guy saw me hitchhiking for many hours in the same spot, so he went with his motorbike and got me a meal and a cold coke.
I still plan to check other regions of Brazil in the future.” - [[User:SonOfaHitch|SonOfaHitch]]
