Changes

Once on Isla Grande there is another few hours of mostly gravel roads, all pretty windswept and barren, before you cross the border back into Argentina. Telling the customs you are hitch hiking is perfectly acceptable, and the border is as good a place as any to loiter for lifts (if a trucker can't pass through with you or something) as it provides a modicum of shelter from the wind. However be aware the Chilean and Argentine posts are twelve miles apart.

Hitching on Isla Grande is relatively easy and people are very familiar with it. Going north to leave you can be lucky and land a truck going all the way to [[Buenos Aires]] or farther.
