paraguay
 

I have a 1200 GS and we want ( my wife and me ) to ride from La Paz(bolivia) to Foz de Igazu, crossing paraguay
who knows state of the road ( paved ?? ) in May , June
thank you
christian

Everything nice and sweet till Villamontes passing thru Santa Cruz...then 70 km herratic till the border in Ibobo, due to dirt blockades on the bolivian side (3 km of sand). Perfect from the border to La Patria. Big holes in the pavement from La Patria to Mariscal. No worries then. June is the dry (and cold) season, you can even afford to go offroad to visit the Alto Parana...

Paraguay to Iguazu
 

Onde you´re in PY, good roads an no problems, from asuncio to Foz do Iguaçu ,350 km of smooth roads, just some ruge traffic 5 km from the border, don´t worry it´s normal ok

Safe journey

Paraguay?
 

Hey americamoto, I'm in asuncion tonight 4/13. A few amigos and I will be at Pub Brittania celebrating our last night of being in the Peace Corps. I just bought a klr from an aussie couple here on the hubb and maybe we can do a little riding around paraguay. Shoot me a PM if you are interested. I know of some great sites and speak the local lingo, also have a place to crash.

Enjoy paraguay!

Cheers,
Jordan

When you're in Iguazu
 

Hey mate, when you're around Iguazu just let me know, if you need a place to stay I can arrange ok, also, let me know whatever you need, when you cross the border you'll notice it's a bit messy, actually it's a ruge mass, it's normal ok.

Get my phone to call when you're here 9956-1091.

Safe journey

It´s something like this (or worst)

But... no big deal...
If you have panniers in your bike, don't follow the other bikes. At some point your bike will not fit the road. :scooter:

I followed the other bikes in the bike lane and I fit with my panniers....but barely, and they got pissed that I was moving so slowly at the choke points. Mine are not as wide as some.....

Hey guys

A hello from another rider...

I am down here with the wife from Canada, just got to Puerto Iguazu to stay closer to the falls and the rain, seems like it.

Are you guys still around this area?

Cheers

:oops2::oops2:

Hi Joca,
Weren't you in Bariloche last week? What are you riding that will get you to Columbia in a month?
Where are you now and which way are you heading? Maybe we'll see each other up the road.

Dunc.

Rod from Iguazu
 

Hey guys,

I live in Iguazu, give a shall when you're around here (brazilian side), so we can have a jeiger and a barbecue. call me on 9956-1091 when you're at the brazilian side.

Cheers

Rod

Hey Rod

Thanks a lot for the offer, unfortunately we are not going into Brazil now, as I was told, my bike is only allowed to enter twoice in Brasil and I have to enter again in Acre, so I am saving my entry for it.

I will be hanging out in Ciudad Iguazu tomorrow and I will head to Asuncion on Mondayl

Thanks a lot, enjoying some Patagonia Amber right now, real good beer.

Hi Joca!

Who told you (the bike)that you're only alowed to enter 2 times?
Never heard about that before...:helpsmilie:

We planned to cross the border a few times..

paraguay (asuncion to Alberdí)
 

Hey folks, I'm looking to travel from Foz do Iguaçu to Formosa, Argentina via Paraguay. Probably going to turn south around Asuncion. Here are my questions:
1-Is the road from Asuncion to Alberdí paved?
2-Once I get to Alberdí, is there a ferry, etc to cross into Argentina?

If there´s no ferry, what is Ruta 11 like in Argentina from Asuncion to Formosa? (road condition, gas sations, etc)

Cheers,
Dave

Import paperwork
 

Does anybody have any up-to-date info on the import documents for Paraguay? We crossed the border from Argentina via Brasil today, stamped our passports but gave no import paperwork for our motorcycles, we insisted we needed something but the top customs guy said there is no such thing and in the end started to get a bit p*ssed with us so we cut and run!!
We're in Ciudad del Este for 48 hours so have time to sort something if anybody has any info.
There's no problem for us if we don't NEED any stamp/docs but we want to avoid problems at checkpoints and when we leave Paraguay in approx one months time.
I've found a few posts where people have gone to another city and managed to get the correct paperwork but it isn't clear if they were asked for it at the exit border or whilst on the road.

Cheers

Paperwork in Paraguay
 

Hey guys,

Of course nobody woudl recomend you to get in any country without the necessary paperwork. Come back to Foz do iguaçu to get the "import papers" at the border with brazil, normally they don't give you but you have to get it to avoid problems inside and when living PY ok.

Give me a shall if you need, I can go with you at the border to get the correct papers, at the moment there are two other bikers here that i'm helping and for sure they can hell p you also

rod

Heads up.
 

OK everybody, good news :D
We went to the offices around the back of the immigration today (which Mark recommended, thanks mate), we walked up a hill and at the top is a large 2 storey office building that is the customs offices, open Monday - Friday only.
In the front door and straight up the stairs there is a nice big sign and top of the list is Tiempo de Tramite!
10 mins later we had the temporary import document (he wanted to see ownership papers and IDP and passport).
I would recommend if you cross at Ciudad Del Este just going into imigration to get your passport stamped then ride away from the office, take the FIRST right following the building round and ride up the hill behind the office you have just been in, park up outside (security everywhere) and you'll be sorted straightaway.
Don't even think about trying to get your Tempo docs at the actual crossing point, the main guy's is a fool and unwilling to help, he is quite happy for you to ride off into Paraguay without the correct paperwork and suffer the consequences, nice attitude from an offical!
