As far as border crossings have been on this trip, it seems like the forces of the universe saved the best for last; the crossing from Uruguay to Argentina on December 19 took about five minutes before we were riding into Argentina to finish our journey. Details are on our Border Crossings page for all […]

The border crossing from Brazil to Uruguay was reasonably fast, but we did lose more time than needed because we accidentally entered Uruguay before exiting Brazil so we had to go back before proceeding.

We used the Rumichaca border crossing, which was fairly straight-forward and fast at around an hour and 15 minutes. For details, refer to our border crossings page. Our first stop was in Ibarra, a charming little town around two hours […]
