Hitching in Peru usually means catching a ride with a truck
driver, who will almost always expect payment. With most trucks you won't have
to pay before setting off, but you should always agree a sum before getting in
as there are stories of drivers stopping in the middle of nowhere and demanding
unreasonably high sums (from foreigners and Peruvians alike) before going any
further. Trucks can be flagged down anywhere but there is greater choice around
markets, and at police controls or petrol stations on the outskirts of towns.
Trucks tend to be the only form of public transport in some less accessible
regions, travelling the roads that buses won't touch and serving remote
communities, so you may end up having to sit on top of a pile of potatoes or
bananas.
Hitchhiking in private cars is not recommended, and, in any case, it's very rare
that one will stop to pick you up, though some travellers have had lifts of over
1000km this way.
