Boarder Crossing - Argentina to Chile

Catching the bus from Mendoza, Argentina to Santiago, Chile was "supposed" to be the least challenging part of our trip. Turns out, not printing your tickets before you get to the bus station presents a problem-even though they have your name printed on the sheet with your passport number, seat number, etc. I spent a stressful hour before the departure, right down to the last 2 minutes of boarding, running from agency to agency trying to print tickets! Finally, I gave up and tried to explain to the bus driver in my now broken spanish (stress), that I didn't have a ticket printed. Needless to say, he ended up eventually helping us and we departed for Chile 20 minutes late-oops!
Turns out that was the most difficult part of our boarding crossing-go figure!

Everyone on the bus was placed in a small room with all our bags while the dog checked our bags. (right)

On the way down from the Argentinean/Chilean boarder. So many curves that they had to place a sign on them! (bottom left). 

Beautiful and terrifying view of our road trip downhill.
