→To/From Argentina: adding my crossing experience.
*Villazon - La Quiaca
You can reach Villazon from Uyuni or Potosí by the road. The border crossing is right between the two cities, near the bridge that crosses the river. While leaving Bolivia you will be asked the paper they gave you entering the country. Entering Argentina a police officer may open your backpack and ask a few questions. You are allowed to enter Jujuy the northerner state of Argentina with 500g of coca leaves. They are legal in the two states of Jujuy and Salta in Argentina. Villazon is quite a big city you'll find anything in the market there. The city of La Quiaca is much smaller and you can cross it walking, leaving towards the south with the road nine that crosses the country till [[Buenos Aires]].
*Yacuiba - Salvador Mazza
Hitchhiking from Bolivia to Yacuiba to the border is kind of easy. On the Argentinian side it is a little bit emptier and harder.
Yacuiba is quite large, So if you don't wish to walk a lot you can take a bus that gets close to the border.
The Bolivian Side might ask for Covid papers and so on. They might make some problems. Keep calm, know your rights and you’ll probably cross very fast to the other side.
On the Argentinian side they scan your bag, and you don't get a stamp because it is online this days.
They might ask you if you have hotel reservations. after few Kilometers into Argentina there is a Police roadblock.
