He Christ the Redeemer International Pass It is the most important border crossing that connects both Argentina and Chile, being the busiest bi-oceanic corridor and through which thousands of vehicles circulate daily. However, during the winter, it is usually closed due to bad weather and to circulate, it is necessary to use or carry chains. In this case, take note to know if it is mandatory to carry them in case you decide to leave or enter the country.

It is known that during the winter, it is not safe for the border crossing to remain open 24 hours a day and that in a matter of hours, the tunnel will be completely closed.
He Christ the Redeemer Pass It is open from 9 in the morning and is enabled for all types of vehicles. In addition, the opening hours until next May 31 will be 24 hours a day; but from June 1 the hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the Argentine side, while in our country it will be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you want to pass, you have to meet a series of requirements.
One of the big questions for those who want to cross the Christ the Redeemer Pass is whether the use of chains in vehicles. In relation to this, carrying is not the same as use.
