He border crossing to Chile from Argentina, known as the Cristo Redentor System, has announced that it will remain closed this Monday the 29th and Tuesday the 30th for all types of transportation, including cargo vehicles, buses and individuals, in both directions of traffic. This measure is due to the adverse weather conditions observed in the International Corridor, both on the Chilean and Argentine sides, which makes the safety of travelers difficult.
He closing of international crossings is mainly due to snowfall in the high mountains, which has generated risk situations for the circulation of vehicles and people. Authorities will continue to evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis, although it is anticipated that unstable conditions will persist throughout Monday and part of Tuesday.

These figures reflect the importance of keeping travelers informed about the situation in the border crossings.
Regarding the climatic conditions in the areas near the border crossings, very low temperatures are expected, with records reaching -4°C in Las Cuevas. These extreme conditions make it necessary to take additional precautions and be attentive to any developments that may arise.
