This article investigates two twin cities of brazilian-bolivian territorial borders. Situated in the Amazonian landscape, the studied cities are positioned as important spaces of the circulation. After all, in this study, we assume that twin cities are important axis of the cross-border networks of States. Thus, from a local research in the twin cities of Guajará-Mirim (Rondônia) and Guayaramerín (Beni), primary data were collected of several urban equipments that attested the status of Brazil and Bolivia relationship articulators. In this research, schools, hospitals, hotels, transport and consulates of the two twin cities were surveyed. The work points to a relation of interdependence and complementarity of the studied urban areas, which happens, in turn, in an asymmetrical way among the several surveyed plans. The article shows that, even in an era in which the excessive porosity of international boundaries is pointed out, it is necessary to consider the existence of sovereignties in contrast. After all, it is through the asymmetries in the neighboring national spaces that the limit is noticed, clarifying the differences more or less visible in the social arrangements.
