Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor Flores - Torreón
The logistics corridor between Flores, Petén, Guatemala and Torreón, Coahuila, México spans approximately 1,696 kilometers and represents a vital cross-border route connecting the southeastern region of Central America with northern Mexico's industrial heartland. This corridor serves as a strategic link for companies seeking to move full truckload freight between Guatemala's growing export economy and one of Mexico's most dynamic manufacturing and distribution hubs. Its importance continues to grow as regional trade integration deepens and supply chains across North and Central America become increasingly interconnected.
Flores, located in the Petén department, acts as a gateway for goods originating from Guatemala's agricultural, forestry, and emerging manufacturing sectors. Torreón, situated in the Comarca Lagunera region of Coahuila, is a major industrial and logistics center with strong activity in automotive, textile, mining, and agribusiness industries. The corridor enables companies in both regions to access broader markets, leveraging the economic complementarity between Central American production and northern Mexico's proximity to the United States border.
The primary transportation infrastructure supporting this corridor includes Guatemala's CA-13 and CA-9 highways connecting Flores to the Mexican border, and Mexico's Federal Highway 40 and Highway 49, which provide direct access from the border region into Torreón. Key border crossings along this route include La Mesilla–Ciudad Cuauhtémoc and El Carmen–La Linda, both of which are equipped to handle commercial freight operations. Companies navigating this corridor must account for customs procedures in both Guatemala and Mexico, including documentation requirements, tariff classifications, and compliance with C-TPAT and FAST certifications to ensure efficient border transit.

Our network ensures dedicated equipment availability, including 53' dry vans, refrigerated units, and flatbeds, tailored to the specific needs of each shipment.

Origin
Flores, Petén, serves as a strategic logistics origin point in northern Guatemala, positioned at the crossroads of Central American trade flows. The region's economy is driven by agriculture, including palm oil, rubber, and tropical fruit production, as well as forestry and an expanding services sector. Its location near the Belize and Mexico borders makes it a natural consolidation point for goods moving northward through the isthmus. Transportation infrastructure in the area is anchored by the CA-13 highway, which connects Flores to the Mexican border at La Mesilla, and the CA-9, which links to Guatemala City and the country's main Pacific ports. The Mundo Maya International Airport also provides air cargo capabilities for time-sensitive shipments. As Guatemala continues to develop its export capacity, Flores is emerging as an increasingly important node for companies looking to integrate Central American production into broader North American supply chains.
Destination
Torreón, Coahuila, is one of northern Mexico's most important industrial and logistics centers, strategically located in the Comarca Lagunera region. The city is home to a diverse economic base that includes automotive manufacturing, steel production, textile and apparel industries, mining operations, and a robust agribusiness sector focused on dairy, cotton, and forage crops. Its position along major north-south and east-west transportation corridors makes it a critical distribution hub for goods moving between central Mexico, the United States border, and the Pacific coast. Key infrastructure includes Federal Highway 40, which connects Torreón to Monterrey and the Laredo border crossing, and Highway 49, which links to Zacatecas and central Mexico. The region also benefits from rail connectivity through Ferromex and access to intermodal facilities, reinforcing its role as a multimodal logistics platform for companies operating across North America.
