Ok, here’s an odd one for ya!

SO, I got my Brazil Visa through one of those mail-in companies, since I don’t live in a state that has a consulate and didn’t have plans to go to one of those two before my South America trip.

Now I just got the Visa/passport back, and lo and behold, there was a miscommunication and an error, and it says that to be valid, I need to enter Brazil by the beginning of July (90 days from date of stamp).
However, in my upcoming trip to SA, I’m working my way down and around, and wasn’t planning to go to Brazil until the beginning of August.

SO, seeing as how now for the Visa to even be valid, hence me to get in to the country, where I fly out from, and I can’t get a hold of the consulate, and I leave in 5 days so there wouldn’t be time to get it changed anyhow (and I don’t want to pay the $150 for a brand new Visa either), I’m thinking that at some point in the first few months of my time in South America I just need to go a little further west then I perhaps planned, get to a Brazil border, cross over, activate the visa, have lunch, cross back, and then continue on my way back east and down.

SO…..anyone know of any good/valid border crossings to Brazil on the Bolivia/Peru northern end of things???
