Anyone in Chile now July 2012??
 

Hi all,

Have been in Santiago for more weeks than I want to think about now. Combination of waiting for my Chile docs and registration to come through and now we've hit July the border has been closed for a fair while now - open today but still have no docs so still can't leave!

Just wondering if anyone is around and looking to cross into Argentina too...any pass considered now, although I was really hoping to get into Mendoza and go up Ruta 40 into Bolivia. Also if someone is thinking of going straight into Bolivia I would be interesting in hearing that too.

Hi,

Have a look at the post I just made. We may be on the same route...

Im still in Mendoza, have small rear sprocket prob, hope to get fixed tmor, then leave north shortly after that.

The pass has been open for a few days now - did ya get your docs?

Im in Tinogasta, heading north still on RN40 (and surrounding roads). Did you make it to Arg?

Damn, I missed your reply! Sounds like we are/were heading the same way. Yeah I made it to Mendoza, epic trip! The only issue is my Padron is only not the full doco, but it got me through. When I got to Mendoza I ended up enrolling on a spanish course. I just finished today so am going to head north on Sunday (19/08).

I'm not exactly going fast cos I only have 200cc chinese copy I bought in Santiago but I think I should get to Bolivia in hopeful less than 2 weeks. I want to check out a bit of the Bolivian Amazon and after now sure? What are your plans?

Any tips/places going north? I have a tent so was just gonna pitch up whenever I ran out of steam, but if you know of any sites would be good to know.

Cheers

Dave
