We had these issues in 2012, Bolivia let us out at Copacabana but the Peruvians would not let the bike in.

I could try crossing to Bolivia tomorrow, only a couple hours away. I'm not sure I understood this correctly, but I think they were telling me I would have problems crossing back into Chile without a valid RUT.

Also, while I have the padron (title) I technically sold the bike to a Chilean friend at a notaria right before I left Vina; I did this to give me more time to return.
He gave me a notarized letter authorizing me to take the bike to Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and of course Chile.


I figured I'd first try claiming the bike as mine at the border, because the paperwork hasn't gone through the systems yet, and if that didn't work use the notarized letter. Neither worked for me today.

Also, what is the Visa process for Bolivia? I don't have my yellow fever shot and heard that may be required...
Hey uhh I’m running into the same situation i technically sold my bike to a friend and bought it back 9 months later yo finish my trip but my Chilean friend lost my Aduana. I have the title and “ copy of the registration “ is it possible if i can get a new aduana???

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
