The corridor
Mendoza — Catamarca.
The Mendoza–Catamarca corridor covers approximately 950 km via National Route 40 North and RN 60. It is the supply axis for the province's major copper and lithium projects: from the high-mountain mines in Andalgalá to the Puna saltflats above 3,900 masl.
Access to areas like Fiambalá, Tinogasta and Antofagasta de la Sierra requires appropriate vehicles, advance route scouting and coordination with each operator's entry protocols. We operate with our own fleet from Mendoza and plan every trip based on cargo type and final destination.

What is the distance between Mendoza and Catamarca?
The distance between Mendoza and Catamarca city is approximately 950 km. The standard route is RN 40 North and RN 60. For Puna destinations —such as Fiambalá, Tinogasta or Antofagasta de la Sierra— distances and times extend depending on altitude access.
Do you transport inputs for copper and lithium mining in Catamarca?
Yes. We operate the Mendoza–Catamarca route focused on major mining projects: copper (MARA, Agua Rica in Andalgalá) and lithium (Tres Quebradas, Sal de Vida). We coordinate deliveries to high-altitude zones including access to the Catamarca Puna.
How long is the Mendoza–Catamarca transit?
The transit from Mendoza to Catamarca city is approximately 12 to 14 hours via RN 40 North and RN 60. For Puna or high-altitude mining zones, times vary depending on final destination access and road conditions.
Do you have permits to operate in Catamarca mining zones?
We hold valid CNRT permits, provincial authorizations and access protocols for mining units. For specific projects, we coordinate each operator's HSE requirements before the first trip.
Can you transport residential modules to Puna projects?
Yes. Together with our Mining Division we supply foldable and expandable residential modules designed for high-altitude zones, with coordinated logistics to the delivery site. Modules carry CE certification, Q235B steel and Class A rock wool.
Logistics for lithium and copper in the Puna
The Mendoza–Catamarca route is about 850 km via RN 40, with a transit of 11 to 13 hours. Catamarca combines two mining fronts: lithium in Antofagasta de la Sierra and copper in projects like MARA and Agua Rica, plus Fiambalá and the Puna area.
We move mining supplies, machinery, construction materials and housing modules to the lithium and copper projects. The high-altitude access roads and Puna tracks require planning the unit type and transit times according to the site.
It is a growing corridor given the province's dual bet on lithium and copper. We coordinate one-off trips or regular supply to the projects. Tell us the destination and the cargo, and we quote within 24 business hours.
