For those driving a Chilean car going to Peru: if you don't have your padron yet, print the appostilezed anotaciones document. find it on registro civil Chile website. it is a bit of a hassle to print but it is worth gold! you can enter Peru (at least from Bolivia, Copacabana crossing where we crossed) without any problems. somewhere in between the payment options you can select PayPal. we could not find a way to pay directly by credit card but PayPal works!

Not possible to cross to Peru in this point, said the officers in Visviri. Not with chilenean car and probobly not with any other car. There is no peruvian immigration and no peruvian aduana. Apparently there is no agreement between Chile and Peru . You have to cross in Desaguadero (Bolivia). The officers were very nice and called around to see if we can cross or not. Apperantly also in Arica you can not cross as extranjero with chilenean car.
You dont have to go over La Paz. The shortcut over Achiri was in quite good condition and saved over 100km. Took us around 4hours.
The bolivian immigration is also here, the bolivian aduana in the next village called Charana. There were deserted buildings on the left saying aduana, but thats not it. Go passed the barrier, to the right there is a big building. Go through the locked gate to the very far end. There is a sign saying aduana. Very friendly guy. Didnt check for food.

A market on Sunday. Couldn't see any border post itself, Chilean border post is in Visviri. You can leave your passport there and visit the sunday market. Cheap Bolivian fuel to be had if you're lucky! Didn't venture in Peru this time as we were making a loop in Chile.
