→Chile: adding my Chile crossing
'''''Paso Hua Hum''''' on the Ruta 48. Crosses from Neuquen province to Region XIV los Rios. Argentinian customs is 3km from the actual border. The Chilean one is on the actual border. In Chile you need to take a ferry to get connected to the other roads. Let us know if you hitched here.
'''''Paso Fronterizo Cardenal Antonio Samoré''''' on the Ruta 231. Crosses from Neuquen province to Region X de Los Lagos. The Argentinian customs is 17km from the actual border. Let us [[User:SonOfaHitch|Son Of a Hitch]] crossed this border going from Argentina to Chile on February 2023. Hitchhiking was not super easy in both sides of the border, but not super hard either.Not so many cars passing, and also the road is only open I think between 8:00 to 18:00, maybe it's closed if there is some heavy snow.Had to wait until the border re-opened the next day camping next to the Argentinian customs.Camping as far as I know was not legal. It wasn’t very hard to hide. Getting out of Argentina was simple, but it was much harder getting into Chile.Between the customs there is a large distance, which will take you awhile to walk. So I chose to hitchhike, which took awhile.And then on the Chilean side you should ask for a personal crossing paper from the person in the boot on the entrance.Sometime they will only give the car driver a paper and not you, So you should ask for a personal one.The first two step are kind of easy, they might even talk in English with you, basically just checking your passport.before step 3 your should fill a paper that says if you have anything to declare.basically everything organic can get you in trouble. So if there is any doubt if you should declare or not, just declare.Because if you hitched this onedon't they might fine you. on step 3 they get a dog to sniff your bag. In my case the dogs sniffed and "found" something.So they asked me nicely to open the bag. And I showed them what maybe would be a problem, and they said it's OK.From there it was a smooth ride to Chile.
'''''Paso Pérez Rosales''''' on a Ruta with no number, from Puerto Frías in Argentina in Rio Negro province. Nearest Argentinian town of size is called Llao Llao, near [[Bariloche]]. You'll have to take several seasonal ferries in both Argentina and Chile to get here. The nearest town of size on the Chilean side is called Peulla in Region X de Los Lagos. This border is not visible on Google Maps, only on Open Street Maps. Please let us know if you accomplished this masterpiece.
