Route Description
Everything you need to know about the corridor Salamá - Wichita
The Salamá to Wichita corridor represents a vital cross-border freight transportation route connecting Guatemala's interior with the industrial heartland of the United States. This 2,605 km corridor traverses diverse terrain and crosses multiple international borders, making it essential for companies engaged in North American trade.

Origin
Salamá
Salamá, the capital of Baja Verapaz in Guatemala, serves as a strategic logistics hub in the country's central highlands. Located approximately 185 km from Guatemala City, Salamá benefits from its position along the CA-9 highway, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The city's elevation and climate make it ideal for agricultural production, particularly in the surrounding valleys where vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants are cultivated for both domestic consumption and export markets.
The region's economy is diversified, with strong agricultural foundations complemented by growing industrial activities. Manufacturing facilities in and around Salamá produce food products, textiles, and light industrial goods. The city's infrastructure includes a network of paved roads connecting to major transportation corridors, a developing industrial park, and proximity to the Atlantic Highway, which provides access to Puerto Barrios for maritime shipping. These factors make Salamá an increasingly important origin point for cross-border freight movements to North American markets.
