Crossing the boarder from Brazil Ponta Pora into Paraguay- info for those yet to do.
Hi all,
Thought we'd post our experience of crossing the boarder from Brazil Ponta Porta into Paraguay.
Initially we were going to cross, after leaving Bonito at Bella Vista until we read there is no Migration point there. We travelled down to Ponta on a Sunday early in the morning, we rode straight to the Airport which was open but completely quiet, found the migration desk, disturbed the officer from reading his book  and within 1 minute had our passports stamped out of Brazil..... easiest exit ever.
We then went across the road to the Paraguay immigration (Y shaped building next door to the "China Mall" ABOUT 200 mtrs from the airport); disturbed the lady from watching Madonna film clips and within 1 minute we were stampped into Paraguay. We then went down the road another 200 mtrs to the Aduna office..... but being a Sunday it was closed.....so we'll sort that out tomorrow.
All in all a very easy experience for which I had a bit of uncertainty about. The whole town is divided down the middle by the boarder and you can freely go from one side to the other, as long as you dont venture to far into either country without getting everything sorted.
We hope this may help others who are heading this way
David & Em
