To cross the border on this excursion, you need a valid travel document: a current passport or national identity card (DNI) for citizens of MERCOSUR member countries.

Keep your Chilean tourist card/PDI entry card to hand in upon departure. Minors must carry a notarized authorization if traveling without one of their parents. Travel insurance is recommended.
