Apart from the first time in 1986 I have never again used a CDP in the AMericas, Then it was compulsary still and already I could get around without using it. (will save you lots of trouble\money when the vehicle gets stolen if it isn´t stamped in). Some will ask if you have one, but when I say I don´t they just provide you with a form for tourist cars. For ARgentina you get a 8 month permission, Chile 6, the rest 3
Insurance is nowadays compulsary in the whole of south america although iwonn most places they won´t ask you to proof it.(except the Guyanas and Surinam at every border and Argentina and Peru by some policestops)
Bon voyage
