==Northern Chile - Argentina==
The better spot to cross from Jujuy, Argentina to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile is Purmamarca, you have to look for trucks with Paraguay license plate, many of those are carring cars or others goods and will probably go to Iquique in the north of Chile.
Crossing in to the Borders of Jujuy, Argentina is not as easy as the other ones in the nation. Once you get to migrations at Paso Jama, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.. the officials will require you to fill in a documents, mentioning your transportation. And in the case of hitchhiking, you must fill in the name of your driver, and the driver must as well fill in HIS form with your name. This is due to the fact that they wont let you thumb nor walk at the Paso Jama. So you must first get yourself a truck driver, who is willing to take you and do all the papers.
Once you arrive to Argentine Borders, and you happen to not be with your Truck Driver anymore, you must do the same thing here. The reason they will give you here, is that the distance from the border to the next town or city is to big, so they would not want you to try to walk your way to next town... which is at least some 200 to 300 km.
Most of the trucks will not pick you up because are afraid that Gendarmes can complains, what worked for me was take a lift from a local truck and ask the driver to stop a Paraguayan truck for me.
