South America Carnet
Dear all,
We are travelling through south America for 3 months. Vehicle is arriving into Colombia then we go through: Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and maybe Uruguay and Paraguay.
Having just had our last carnet run out as it only is valid for 12 months, the official info on whether we need it for south America is 'recommended but not required.' For us this is an extra £1,250 which for something that isn't required seems like something that if possible we would like to avoid.
Does anyone have any practical experience in these countries (crossing borders etc) where the carnet was definitely needed?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Nick and Rich
