'''Paso San Sebastián''' on the Ruta Nacional 3 (which casually continues on '''Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego''' regardless of the fact that it's broken up!). Crosses from Tierra del Fuego province into Region XII de Magallanes. The Argentinian customs office is at the roundabout of the town San Sebastián, some 11km from the actual border. The Chilean customs office is 3.5km from the actual border. Use the border crossings to find direct rides to where you want to go. Argentinian plates driving into Chile will most likely drive all the way to [[Rio Gallegos]], while Chilean plates going into Chile will likely go to [[Punta Arenas]] via the [[Punta Delgada]] ferry crossing (hitchable).
To find a ride to [[Porvenir]] in Chile, [[User:MOAH|Mind of a Hitchhiker]] asked at the Chilean customs office if anyone was going there, and got offered a ride from a guy named "El Gordo" (Fat guy''TheFat One'') by his colleagues. His real name is Sergio, as vaguely remembered, and he drives a red Toyota Hilux. This hitchhiker gave up on trying to find an earlier ride and did crossword puzzles instead until Sergio appeared and drove her the 140km to [[Porvenir]] in no time. With excellent suspension, the ride was smooth and glorious, while driving past the Bahía Inutil (''Useless Bay'') chasing the imminent sunset.
