I went to Guayleguachu/Fray Bentos border today to extend my motorcycle visa to Argentina, expecting 8 month. The custom clerk decided to give 3 month and no argument would make him change his mind.
No problem, i crossed the border back to Uruguay, got another 12 month permit and found professional parking in Fray Bento for 25 USD/month (closed parking with roof). More convenient after all than the argentine 8 month. Everybody there seemed to be willing to host the vehicule, i just had to find the best price/security offer.
Fray Bento is the nearest border crossable by road from Buenos Aires (300km), a charming little town with low insecurity and very friendly population. I would recommend it for anybody thinking about leaving a vehicule in South America.
