Chile and Argentina
Can anyone comment on the process of crossing between Chile and Argentina multiple times as one drives south along their border?
The route I have planned has me crossing back and forth several times over passes and beautiful roads.
If I get a visa for each country lasting the maximum time allowed, I can cross as many times as I please, yes? As for the Bike import permission, will I have to check into an aduana each time?
Just ignore the border and hope for the best?
Thanks

You just have to exit and enter each country doing the temp import/export process every time I'm afraid. Not that bad and usually pretty quick.

Thanks for the info.
There are aduana offices at all the crossing?
I can enter/exit using my Chilean and Argentinian Visas as many times as I want within the expiration dates I hope.

Sorry, same goes for your passport stamps, you'll get one in/out of each country but it certainly makes your passport look pretty fairly quickly.
Don't be in a hurry, enjoy it, lovely country down there.

I could only agree to the statement. I am currently travelling and it is not a big deal to cross the borders as often you want to.
Only the crossing from Chile to Peru took me four hours!

I´m playing the bouncing passport stamp game in Patagonia right now, it´s a pain especially now as the holiday hordes are about to descend upon us causing traffic jams at all the popular crossings. I have 3 pages left in my passport but so far by asking nicely the border people are multi stamping my pages. It is a pain, but it really is worth it and when several years ago I asked an immigration officer in the TdeF passport stamping fiasco why a tourist couldn´t get stamped into the ´Cone´once the stamped out on their departure, his reply was "in Latin America (and other places I suspect) the polititians would regard it as handing part of their territorial rights away and not good for votes". Take a book and a bottle of water and people watch.
Ride safe.
Hi Mike, fancy a in St Á´s come July?
