If you are planning to cross from Chili to Argentina or vice versa, you should know that it is closed and until when the pass will be prohibited to climb to High Mountain.
If there is something that characterizes the Cristo Redentor International Passis that unlike others that connect Chili The border with Argentina is open 365 days a year, but winter is where complications arise. Low temperatures complicate normal traffic and lead authorities to prevent traffic from both countries to avoid problems near the crossing, which is why they have promoted a protocol to protect transporters.
For more than a week in the month of June, the Christ the Redeemer Step It was closed due to the heavy accumulation of snow, which had led to the implementation of this protocol. In recent weeks, the pass was enabled during its winter schedule; but in the last few hours, both Chilean and Argentine authorities decided to close the pass until further notice. When will it open again?
According to authorities in both countries, the Christ the Redeemer Step It was closed not only last Monday, but it will also be closed today, Tuesday, August 6, in both directions for all types of vehicles due to instability and possible snowfall, especially in Chile where the greatest accumulation of snow could occur.
On the other hand, from the Argentine side, the National Meteorological Service predicted that snowfall in the Andes Mountains could remain until Wednesday and on Thursday the conditions could improve, so the Christ the Redeemer Step could be enabled for all types of vehicles.
