Los Libertadores Pass remains closed as weather stalls Chile‑Argentina traffic

The Los Libertadores border crossing between Chile and Argentina has been closed due to forecasted heavy precipitation in the high Andes. The joint decision by the Sistema Integrado Cristo Redentor and the border coordinations of both countries led to barriers being lowered at Guardía Vieja (Chile) at 17:00 and in Uspallata (Argentina) at 18:00 on 9 July, with the Cristo Redentor Tunnel ceasing operations at 19:00 (Chile) and 20:00 (Argentina). No reopening date has been set; the pass will reopen only when weather conditions improve. Travelers are advised to follow official channels for updates before planning any trips across the route.
