: '' If choosing to hitchhike through Patagonia, as Guaka has stated, the ruta 3 that goes down the coast is a better bet: although there are often many kilometres in between villages, it is a well travelled road. Ruta 40 which goes from San Carlos de Bariloche south, is a road that gets frequently closed off because of the bad weather and is reputed to be hellish to hitch on - fewer cars, unpaved sections and some people have said they have gone days without seeing anyone. Winding, remote mountain roads and bad weather conditions in any season but summer make it less travelled by truckers and therefore is not recommended. Gas stations are generally your best bet, although roadside hitching is possible.''
