bermejo border bolivia / Argentina
 

Hi there, I´m in Tarija (bolivia) at the moment, hoping to cross over the border into Argentina. Not sure of the best way to but I want to avoid ripio as much as possible as just had a nightmare 8 hours of it from Potosi. The locals here tell me that Bermejo is the best crossing as it´s 2 1/2 hours from here then only another 3 hours to Salta.
Of course I don´t belive a word of it as usually 3 hours of asphalt turns into 6 hours of sand and gravel.
So, my questions are - has anyone crossed the border at Bermejo?
Were there any problems?
What are the conditions of the between Tarija and Salta.
Thanks
Christine

I don't know the road to Bermejo but between Salta and Villazon, it's only beautiful asphalt. It might be an alternative if you don't know what you're gonna get.
