With six armed guards and a helicopter hovering above. But check with a trained professional hitchhiker before proceding.

I would definitely discourage you from partaking on a hichhiking journey from Brazil to California. But if it helps: travel with another person that you trust read up on survival books (so you know how to battle hypothermia, survive the elements...) If a person giving you a ride acts even remotely suspicious or if you feel uncomfortable, leave ASAP Pack only essentials (you will develop a hateful relationship with your backpack, dont make it worse by bringing along unneccesary weight) keep a stash of cash for EMERGENCIES Do your research on visa options in the countries you will be entering before you leave Rio And lastly, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so no acting immature or idiotic in public - try not to stand out too much or you will be the target of the wrong people and you will end up in a tight situation quicker than you can imagine

If you were drawing a map and wanted the easiest route from Rio to L.A. it would likely look like this: Take the ferry from Rio to Buenos Aires. From there follow the Pan American Highway to Las Vegas. From Vegas it is an easy hop to L.A.
