Has anyone info/advice/recommendations on driving in Argentina/Chile/Bolivia with a Dutch driving license? I'm already in S.America so can't get a (Dutch) international driving license issued since that has to be done in person in the Netherlands itself..

@ arnedeknegt
Was asked for it at route 14 Argentina and offered it today in Chile as they didn't know what to make of my Dutch license (just to speed things up).

hey kenny013.
tilburg?
you have experience buying a foreign owned bike in south america (chile, argentina) or did you ship your own bike to s.america?
i'm considering buying a bike in chile from a fellow traveler, but not entirely sure wheter that is hassle free or not...see quite some pro's and con's online.
would love to hear from your experiences and your trip. mail me on yellow_cosmic_warrior@yahoo.com

international is required. spent 1 hour with arg police
Argentina --- yes. international
it was a short conversation when they roll out the english speaking poliman
this euro license is correct but it is not recognised, you need the internatioal one. thankfully did have, unfirtunatly i was missing my seguru (insurance) but after lots of chatting and polite i promised to stop in the next town and buy it, with the directions he gave me. with awarming route 14 has lots of police checks because of the drug smuggling route.
