Move to Ormigero (Hormiguero).
I am heading towards the border to enter Brazil.
Initially, I tried to cross by boat, but there were no suitable times for the boats, so I chose to cross the bridge.

Border: Puente Internacional de la Integración (Argentina → Brazil).
There is a toll booth just before the border, where you pay 40 pesos or 12 reais. Probably a bridge toll.
After paying, you proceed towards the border.
According to the signs, cars go straight, and trucks turn left, so I followed the signs and went straight.
There is a building that combines Argentina and Brazil, so I parked my motorcycle in a suitable place and proceeded with the procedures.
■Argentina Exit
Inside the building, an officer helped me fill out the documents. It was helpful.
I submitted my motorcycle registration, passport, and immigration officer, and received a stamp.
Then, the officer guided me to the other side of the building. It's a bit confusing where to go if there's no officer.
■Brazil Entry
I submitted my passport and motorcycle registration.
It seems that some information from the motorcycle registration was entered into the computer, so I guess they recorded the license plate number and manufacturing number.
After receiving the stamp, I received an entry/exit form, which I will keep.
After that, the officer seemed to be telling me to take my motorcycle to the customs (like a toll booth) for inspection. So, I took my motorcycle there and had it checked.
I thought that place might be customs (Aduana), so I tried to return my Argentine permit, but the officer seemed confused. Oh no. I'm worried that if I don't return the permit, I might have trouble later. However, the officer seemed to be tired of it and said something like, "You can go now."
So, I stopped my motorcycle a little past the toll booth-like place and went back to the building to ask, "Where is Aduana?" Apparently, it's on the opposite side. That's why I couldn't find it. I went to the opposite side of the building, and it seems that the back of the two toll booth-like places is Aduana. I handed over my Argentine permit, and the officer seemed to say "OK" and started talking, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. Well, I guess the process is complete.
I haven't received a Brazilian permit, but it seems like they entered the information from the registration, so I guess it's probably okay.
When I exit, I plan to pass through the border near Iguazu Falls, which is "almost possible to pass through without any problems," so there should be no problem with the exit.
As long as I don't get caught by corrupt Brazilian police officers along the way, there should be no problem. Even if I get caught, I don't know what's right.
