Waits Drop to 20 Minutes at Cristo Redentor After New Year Rush

Border agencies eased the getaway bottleneck using regulated parking with batch admissions at Penitentes.

Overview

  • Earlier on Monday, queues to Chile’s Los Libertadores stretched roughly 3 to 3.5 kilometers with waits exceeding three hours.
  • A later update from Argentine coordination put the delay from the tunnel to Los Libertadores at about 20 minutes with no lines on Route 7.
  • Entry from Chile into Argentina remained fluid, with about 10 minutes reported at the Roque Carranza complex.
  • The Cristo Redentor system is open 24 hours for all vehicle types, and Paso Pehuenche operates as an alternative from 9:00 to 18:00.
  • Officials urge travelers to bring proper documentation and plan for fluctuating wait times during the year-end travel surge.
