Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor Puerto Barrios - San Vicente
The logistics corridor connecting Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, to San Vicente, El Salvador, is a vital cross-border route spanning approximately 233 kilometers. This corridor serves as a critical link between Guatemala's primary Caribbean port and the industrial heart of El Salvador, facilitating the movement of goods between two important Central American economies. The route primarily utilizes the CA-9 highway in Guatemala, connecting to the CA-2 and then transitioning to El Salvador's CA-2W and CA-1 highways, providing efficient access to San Vicente and beyond.
The economic significance of this corridor cannot be overstated. Puerto Barrios serves as Guatemala's main port on the Caribbean Sea, handling substantial volumes of containerized cargo, agricultural products, and manufactured goods.
