Border Crossings: Customs And Immigration

Soccer Team Dept: It has its own customs and immigration office at one of the highest border crossings in the world, at an elevation of 3,700 metres, according to Montreal Gazette. It even has its own soccer team - probably a successful one, given the altitude at which the players train and barrick Gold's Pascua-Lama mine project will have its own hospital, complete with operating room and X-ray facilities, an indoor sports centre, and housing for up to 10,000 people. And exclusive charter flights leave La Serena, Chile, and the country's capital, Santiago, carrying engineers, mine workers and the occasional journalist, just barely clearing the tops of the jagged Andes mountains before landing on the Pascua-Lama airstrip.
