Everything you need to know about the corridor Usulután - Puerto Barrios
The logistics corridor connecting Usulután, El Salvador, to Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, is a vital cross-border route that facilitates trade and economic integration between the two Central American nations. Spanning approximately 265 kilometers, this corridor traverses diverse landscapes and connects key industrial and commercial hubs. Usulután, located in southeastern El Salvador, serves as a strategic gateway for goods moving from the interior of the country to international markets.
