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.
map24 is a useful online routeplanner for Brazil and the rest of South America.
GuiaMais is another great website with maps and route planning for Brazil only.
Brazilians consider their country very violent and dangerous part due to the medias love to seize on the stories and exagerate them. Brazil needs to be taken with caution but Hitchiking 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 sliplanes to overtake traffic or swurve to allow others past.
Areas like the Amazon and Pantanal backlands are much easier when asking on road sides and at petrol stations. 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 300kms 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.
