Bolivia-Chile border between salt lakes

Just planning my route from Lapaz to Chile. Is there a border crossing between the lakes?

Hello Alex,
you have to check out for Bolivia in Uyuni and check in in Chile in San Pedro de Atacama (that means - make all your paperwork). In between you have 3 - 4 days time (to pass the Salar de Uyuni, Laguna colorado and Laguna verde). You have to look for the gasoline - there is no gas station between Uyuni and San Pedro (just some shops that sell some benzin).

Hi there

I don't have the actual waypoints, but if you follow my tracks(from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama with one stopover at a village), assuming you have a garmin and can add tracks, then that will take you to the aduana to cancel your TVIP on the Bolivian side, then you have to backtrack a bit(all recorded) and head to Chile. You still need to stamp yourself out in Uyni before you leave there

Send me a pm with your email address and I will send the GPX file

Cheers
TS

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
