If you\u2019re travelling through northern Argentina and want to continue your trip into Bolivia by land, you\u2019re probably considering crossing the border via La Quiaca\u2013Villaz\u00f3n.It\u2019s one of the most commonly used border crossings between the two countries, and you can cross either on foot or by car.<\/strong> And while from the outside it might seem as simple as arriving, going through immigration and continuing on your way, the experience can be quite different depending on how you cross. <\/p>\n\n

I crossed this border by car and, if I\u2019d known everything I\u2019m about to tell you beforehand, I probably would have said goodbye to the person driving me at the border and continued on foot.<\/p>\n\n

So, if you\u2019re organising your Argentina\u2013Bolivia border crossing, here\u2019s everything you need to know about how the border works, what documents you need, how to cross from Argentina to Bolivia<\/strong> on foot or by car, which immigration and customs procedures you\u2019ll encounter, and how to continue your journey from Villaz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n \ud83d\udca1 In this article:<\/strong> I\u2019ll be focusing on the La Quiaca\u2013Villaz\u00f3n border crossing<\/strong>, which is the one I used and a practical option if you\u2019re planning to continue towards Potos\u00ed, Uyuni or La Paz.\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Which border crossing you choose will depend a lot on your itinerary.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re travelling through northern Argentina and then want to continue to Potos\u00ed<\/a>, Uyuni<\/a> or La Paz<\/a>, the La Quiaca\u2013Villaz\u00f3n border crossing can fit really well into your route.<\/p>\n\n

And if you\u2019re coming from Salta or Jujuy, it\u2019s a pretty logical option for continuing your journey into southern Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n
