結束了烏尤尼鹽湖三天兩夜的tour,導遊把我們放在玻利維亞的 海關 口,在這裡辦完出境手續後,我們才坐上前往San Pedro de Atacama的大巴士,要進入 智利 囉!
途中,兩旁一片光禿,連小草都沒有,只有偶爾出現的路牌,不過能清楚看到那幾座覆蓋著白雪的高山,好像就在我們旁邊,觸手可及,十分壯麗。
巴士停在一棟小鐵皮屋前,那是空曠的荒野中唯一的建築物,顯得非常突兀,如果在電影裡,那就是命案會發生的地方,還好這不是電影,這只是智利的海關口,從玻利維亞出來的人都要在這裡辦入境。
不過,我很疑惑,從邊境到海關口之間有十公里的距離,如果有人要非法入境豈不是太容易了嗎?難不成整個地區都有人在監視?也或許智利政府並不在乎非法移民。
這裡是出了名又慢又嚴格的關口,整整花了我們三個小時的時間。
抵達關口時,前面排了三輛巴士,我們大概每四十分鐘會移動一次,還好有其他五個團員一起聊天、吃零食,時間也就消磨過去了,中間也有工作人員上車來解釋過關的程序,並讓我們先填寫入境表。
等了有兩個小時之久,終於,我們的巴士開進了那棟鐵皮屋,大家一窩蜂的下了車。
入境手續
先是去到海關人員的辦公室,排隊一一辦理入境,等待的同時,我真是很擔心,畢竟這個關口比較偏遠,加上智利也是免簽,會不會又發生像上次從厄瓜多入境秘魯的事件呢?
不過,現在我的西班牙文已經流利許多,要長篇大論的介紹中華民國護照,或是解釋國家特殊的身份地位,我都已經做好準備,沒在怕的。
令我意外的是,我非常順利的得到停留智利九十天的入境章,年輕的海關一看我的護照就知道是免簽,他說遇過不少台灣人從這裡入境智利,也有很多韓國人和日本人,所以他對幾個東亞國家的護照都不陌生。
確實也是,去烏尤尼鹽湖旅行的東亞人很多,一定也有些人是和我一樣,參加三天兩夜的tour後直接去到智利。
行李檢查
辦公室外就是檢查行李的地方,沒有X光機,全部是由站在桌子後面的那三位海關人員親手查驗,不知道他們到底想搜出什麼東西,總之所有攜帶的物品都要經過海關人員的檢查,可想而知那要花多少的時間。
好不容易輪到我,那是一個年輕的男海關,他表情嚴肅地把我背包裡的東西都翻了一遍,也不算看得很仔細,如果有偷藏毒品其實是不會被發現的。
檢查都結束後,海關莫名地握住我放在背包上的手,笑著說”歡迎來到智利”,他太過親切的舉動讓我有點驚訝,這是什麼意思?是智利人都這麼熱情嗎?回到巴士上,我和其他團員提起這件事,顯然地,為他們檢查行李的海關都沒有這樣做,甚至連交談也沒有,看在那位海關算是個小帥哥的份上也就算了。
經過三個小時的時間,我並不覺得這次的過關很糟糕,因為我還有更差的經驗。
之前,我等過最久的大概是巴黎機場的海關加安檢,這個智利關口和它不相上下,差別在於,智利的工作人員是不停地認真工作,只是動作很慢罷了,雖然要等很久,也還不至於讓人覺得厭煩,而巴黎機場的工作人員則是花很多時間在喝咖啡和聊天,一點不管大排長龍的隊伍,身為等待的旅客很難不感到莫名其妙。
至於檢查繁瑣這件事,經歷過以色列機場嚴格的安檢,受過特別待遇的寵愛後,其他地方的安檢真的無法引起我任何的反感,再多的檢查在我看來都是平常。
*因著護照上某個國家的入境章,使得我每次離開以色列時,在機場都要受到比一般人更嚴格的安檢,所有隨身物品一件一件被翻出和在小房間裡的貼身檢查都是必須,我也只能無奈接受。
總之,我和其他人對於這個海關口的看法不太一樣,我不覺得他們動作很慢或是檢查得太仔細,我只記得海關有點太友善的這件事。

Good ?V I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your web site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related information ended up being truly simple to do to access.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.

I have been surfing on-line more than three hours today, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely value enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the net will likely be a lot more useful than ever before. “We are not retreating – we are advancing in another Direction.” by Douglas MacArthur.
