Mid-Chile-Argentina border crossings?
Hi,
My girlfriend and I are renting a bike in Osorno, Chile in a couple of days and are planning to ride around the lakes and mountains for about ten days.
We expect to cross into Argentina on route 215/231 between Osorno and Bariloche and then probably to cross back over into Chile at Futaleufu on route 259/231.
Can anyone tell me what to expect at these border crossings?
Problems if I have only a U.S. driver's license?
Long delays?
Necessito por propinas in either or both directions?
Also, any tips for great rides or food or other great (or bad) experiences that anyone has had recently in the mid-South Chile lakes district or in Argentina between Bariloche and Trevelin would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
