Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor Cobán - Cartago
The Cobán to Cartago corridor represents a vital cross-border logistics route connecting the heart of Guatemala's Alta Verapaz region with Costa Rica's industrial hub. This 937 km journey traverses diverse terrain and crosses through multiple countries, making it a critical artery for regional trade. The corridor serves as a bridge between Central America's agricultural powerhouse and its growing manufacturing sector, facilitating the movement of goods that drive economic development throughout the region.
This route primarily utilizes the CA-9 highway in Guatemala, connecting to the Pan-American Highway (Interamericana) which serves as the main artery through El Salvador and Honduras. The corridor crosses at key border points including El Florido (Guatemala-Honduras) and Paso Canoas (Costa Rica-Panama), though the final approach to Cartago utilizes Costa Rica's Route 2.
