Full Post: http://bit.ly/2v2coY1 After a few rain soaked days in El Calafate, Argentina I made my way to Punta Arenas, Chile, and yet another border crossing. I would start on Ruta 40 then onto Ruta 3, then cross over into Chile on Ruta 255 and finish on Ruta 9.

The border crossing was only a hundred miles away, so I was hoping there would be no lines and I could get on my way into Chile without too much fuss.

The closest town to the border on the Argentinian side is many miles from the border of the ADUANA - Paso de Integración Austral and on the Chilean side is Punta Delgada.

Although the trip total was 336 miles (541 kilometers), it is mostly paved. I started Ruta 40, and the whole trip took me just over 8 hours.

Everything is in the one building here. So you do both Argentina to Chile, Chile to Argentina in one building. If you look like a biker, they will direct you after each of the four steps.
