borders
hey Mike
when I crossed the Bolivian border to Paraguay (from Ibibobo Bolivia) there was about 60 kms no mans land and then a paraguay migracion/import checkpoint - they didnt stamp anything but checked papers and sent me on to mariscal estigarriba for the Aduana form and stamp for the bike. I was led to believe that the passport entry stamp was possible to have at Pozo Colorado - the passport people in Pedro Juan Cabellero told me this when I arrived there to leave paraguay for Brazil ( I completely forgot the passport entry stamp - i thought the guys at mariscal estigarriba had done this - 50 dollars to rectify this on this brazilian side)
Aswell as this checkpoint 60kms in there was at least 2 other police/army checkpoints I went through with all paperwork checked - this is a big drug smuggling route between the two countries - i think you run the risk of been turned back if you plan on crossing the country without that temporary import form for the bike.
But you shouldnt have to go to Asuncion - you can sign out at mariscal estigarriba which is on the way
hope its some help
