Hitchhiking on ruta 40 is '''not possible''' difficult south of Perito Moreno/Los Antiguos, but very much possible in the summer, with proper sun and, especially, wind protection. You'd have to be either crazy or suicidal to try it in the winter. The road is possibly one Bring plenty of the most remote on earth--food and water with you, as waits can be long between cars, but every motorist second or third car will stop but only to tell take you that it's not possible. The government is in the process Lots of paving Chilean truck drivers take this road. If soroute in summer, hitchhiking conditions may changeand chances are that any ride you catch will take you at least 200-300 kilometers.
