From Iquique, in Chile, you have to reach Huara on the road 5 in the direction of Arica. In Huara, there's a paved road that goes directly in Bolivia in Oruro. The border is between Coclchane (Chile) and Pisica (Bolivia). To leave Chile or Bolivia you need the paper they gave you while entering the country. There are many trucks on this road that goes from the harbor in Iquique to Oruro in Bolivia.
When going from Chile to Bolivia the PDI and Policia boliviana are in the same house, rigth at the border between the city of Colchane and Pisica. Checking out and checking in are in the same room. You can change Euros, Dollars, Bolivianos or Pesos Chilenos and buy food. Be warned from the cold, if the days may be sunny and quite hot, the nights there (at 3700m) may be very cold.
=== To/From [[Argentina]] ===
*Villazon - La Quiaca
You can reach Villazon from Uyuni or Potosí by the road. The border crossing is right between the two cities, near the bridge that crosses the river. While leaving Bolivia you will be asked the paper they gave you entering the country. Entering Argentina a police officer may open your backpack and ask a few questions. You are allowed to enter Jujuy the northerner state of Argentina with 500g of coca leaves. They are legal in the two states of Jujuy and Salta in Argentina. Villazon is quite a big city you'll find anything in the market there. The city of La Quiaca is much smaller and you can cross it walking, leaving towards the south with the road nine that crosses the country till [[Buenos Aires]].
