Carnet de Passage in South America when we buy bikes in Chile or Brasil ?

Hello dear readers,

We are planning a motor trip throughout South America and already get very useful information from you guys on this hub. Our plan is now to buy two light motorbikes in Chile or maybe Brasil and travel through several countries in South America. (See our previous question about buying and travelling).

We are now checking out how the border crossings work. To my information so far I need a carnet de passage. That is when I transport my motorbike through South America. On the site of www.adac.de (which is the company how can provide me with information) I don't need one for Brasil or Uruguay but I certainly need one when I'm entering Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador or Venuezuela !

If so how can I get such I document in Chile or Brasil ?

Thank you on the forehand

Gerjan & Tamara

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.
