'''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 the 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 of seizing stories and exaggerate them.
In Brazil, hitchhiking is referred to as ''pegar uma carona'', taking a ride.

Gas stations can be good places to sleep. In the north, truckers usually set up their hammocks behind the station and you can sleep next to them (there are usually free showers too). Further to the south, people are not using hammocks much, and [[User:Sebastienhh|Sebastienhh]] and his travel companion often found themselves the only ones sleeping there, but security would ask if they intended on spending the night and then regularly come to check that they were OK.
 
As in many countries in Latin America, firemen will often put you up on a bunk or sofa for a night if you ask nicely.
