=== [[Bolivia]] ===
The border area between Chile and Bolivia is spectacular and terrifying. It's at very high altitudes in the Andes mountains. There's a stark contrast between the living standards between Chile and Bolivia. Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in the region and not many people own cars. There's loads of shared cars/taxis roaming between the villages. It's a best practice to stick to major routes if one is adamant to hitchhike all of Bolivia without ever paying for a ride. Know how to ask for a free ride.
'''Bolivian border crossings north to south'''
'''''Tripartito Triple Frontier''''' is the northernmost point of Chile and a triple border between Chile, Perú and Bolivia. There's no town on the Chilean side, just the A93 road and a marker at the triple border. The town in Perú is called Tripartito and the town in Bolivia is called Ladislao Cabrera in La Paz Department. It doesn't look like there's any customs here to get any entry/exit stamps. The Chilean region is called Region XV Arica y Parinacota. Let us know what is up with this place and how hitchhiking is here.
'''''Paso Visviri''''' is 10 km south of the Tripartito border and is (probably) an actual functional border. The Chilean town on the A93 is called Visviri in Region XV Arica y Parinacota and the customs are about 2 km from the actual border. The Bolivian town is called Charaña, La Paz Department and there is no information about customs.
'''''Paso Chungará - Tambo Quemado''''' on the CH11 between (very roughly) Putre in Region XV Arica y Parinacota and (very roughly) Oruro in Oruro Department. This is quite a popular border crossing for trucks.
