'''Brazil''' is a country in [[South America]]. It has a border with every country on the continent except [[Chile]] and [[Ecuador]]. Brazil is a huge country and [[hitchhiking]] depends a lot on area as to how receptive people will be and your chances in getting rides. Some Brazilians consider their country violent and dangerous part due to the media's love to seize on the stories and exaggerate them.

Brazil needs to be taken with caution but hitchhiking is doable in every area except within greater [[São Paulo]], as you are over shadowed due to the volumes of traffic. On roadsides, care must be taken because of the erratic ways of Brazilian Motorists. Many use the slip lanes to overtake traffic or swurve swerve to allow others past.
Areas like the Amazon and Pantanal backlands are much easier when asking on road sides and at [[petrol station]]s. Areas where there is purely the one national highway make life easier for reaching intended destination. put your mind to it and its very possible to cover a little over 300 kilometer daily or more depending on area. North East may be trickier as there are less cars and peoples fear of Bandidos but when you get someone they will be talkative and friendly.
