Easy border, 10 minutes on each country. You can park on the side of the road before each building on each side and then you drive between buildings for around 5 minutes

We crossed this border from Chile to Argentina on a Sunday morning. Chilean side was very easy and fast. Is 100% working.

This border is open from 9am-8pm every day. The location is further down the road into Chile than what’s marked on iOverlander, which might be why people think it’s closed. Very quick and efficient.

It is not true what was written below. We crossed this border for the second time today. From Chile to Argentina. The border is open from 08:00 to 21:30.

We passed this border on 29 December. It was open. It is not exactly at these coordinates, but a little further down the road. It did not seem to be open for a short time. It has changed opening hours on 01.01.2023: from 10:00 - 21:30. We were told by the border official that only this border is open, but not Paso Laurita Casas Viejas.

as argentinian border was supposed to be open (save corridor), we went here. Chilean side is dead - no-one around so no possibility to cross to Argentinia

Argentina to Chile: Quick, easy and friendly. Only a quick look inside our camper.

Nice staff and quick process for us. They checked the van for 2 minutes and that's it. We saw no dogs. Open until midnight.

The Argentinian immigration and customs office on the other side of the border was closed during the day because of a strike. Ask about the current situation at the office.

got lucky here to be just behind a big tourist bust on the Argentinian side but passed them on the way to the Chile aduana. no real vehicle check

They controlled all cars for fruits, meat and vegetables at the argentinan border. With the motorcycle we could pass without beeing checked.

As below, super efficient border crossing leaving Chile into Argentina. Just stamped passports out and took our TVIP. Less than 5 minutes. Recommend to take this border.

Open and speedy!

Border open, no sign of strike. Exited Chile as foreign owners of a Chilean plated vehicle. Quick and easy - showed the Padrón, RUT paperwork, and signed the 'Salida y Admisión Temporal de Vehículos' form, confirming that we will return the vehicle to Chile. Entered Argentina without any questioning of whether we had fruit, meat, dairy, seeds etc. No vehicle search either. Happy days!

Very easy border crossing! Took 5 min. Chile was playing an important football match. The best moment to cross the border :-)

Small easygoing border. No problems.

this border is currently inaccessible due to what seems to be a strike. Cross further south at Laurita or north at Torres del Paine.

Very fast, no looking at the car and most important they let me enter Argentinia with a Chilean car and a driving permit.

Small border crossing - a good alternative if you are crossing to or from Puerto Natales. No gravel road on the Argentinian side unlike the crossing further north and a small town with two fuel stations. Very quick and non-thorough vehicle search entering Chile.
