Putina, Peru to Puerto Acosta, Bolivia | Customs and Immigration

October 15th, 2022 by instagram.com/electronsvagabonds

For cyclists: from Peru to Bolivia, note that the asphalt road stops as soon as you arrive at the border (indicated with flags and signs).The road then is really, really bad in some part and mostly going up until the steep way down to Tilali.
Before that, you need to get stamped in Tilali Immigration office (located on the plaza de armas and open from 8am to 8pm according to the officer) and go through the police border control (after the village and before it starts to climb). The Immigration office in Puerto Acosta is located right after the village, after passing the bridge on the right hand side.

This is indeed the road to follow. At the town the locals tried to let us pay 5bs, but this is illegal according to friends who are living in Bolivia. We played our 'we don't speak Spanish card ' and they let us through.

This is the correct road from Puerto Acosta to Tilali. This road is also used by trucks, it is steep and washed out on the Bolivian side but doable with a 2wd with high clearance. It is new tarmac on the peruvian side. Immigration and Aduana in Bolivia on the main road in Puerta Acosta. In Peru immigration is in Tilali on the placa, Sunat is 2km up the road which also goes to Bolivia.

this road is not the route you should follow if you're crossing between tilali and puerto acosta. we did immigration at tilali, followed the signs to the aduana, then single track cross country (road doesn't show on ioverlander) to p acosta.

border post is operational. mon-sun. 9am-9pm with few hrs break at lunch. today the officers weren't around but was easy to find them in town. the nearest Peruvian entry point is tilali, which is on a decent dirt road about 10k away. one small section with few rocks and one narrow section due to walls on both sides but these are both near the start..

My son and I crossed here in August of 2007.  There was an aduana on the Bolivian side, just before the town of Puerto Acosta.  In Puerto Acosta we stopped at the police station on the plaza, but they said that there was no immigrations.

The 'road' out of town towards Peru was only a trail that later turned into a road.  There was much construction coming from the border towards Puerto Acosta.  We never knew when we crossed the border.  We think it was a place at the far edge of a town that only had a chain across the road with a lock, then a lowland area with no houses beyond.  We just went around the chain.  No one said anything or even thot it strange.

On the Peru side there was not even a Police station (that we could find) so we just rode on and on until we came to the town of Mojo.  We traveled in Peru for 10 more days without any proper paperwork (our motorcycles were from Peru, so that was not really an issue.)  In Peru no one checks your immigration status if you are fluent in Spanish.
