There was no visa charge for the riders from Brazil.The $142 it cost US citizens is reciprocal,because the US charges for Bolivians coming to the USA. I think I read last year that gas stations in Bolivia were supposed to be charging double the posted price for foreigners. I think people were crossing the border to buy cheap gas then returning home. When I left Oruro,I went to 4-5 stations before I found one with gas.
