The corridor
Mendoza — Jujuy.

The Mendoza–Jujuy corridor covers approximately 1,300 km via RN 40 North and RN 9. It is the logistics backbone for lithium projects in the Jujuy Puna: Olaroz Fénix and Cauchari-Olaroz, both in Susques, concentrate the highest demand for inputs, machinery and modules in the sector.

Access to the saltflats of the Jujuy Puna requires authorized vehicles, advance route scouting and coordination with each operator's entry protocols. We operate with our own fleet from Mendoza and plan each trip based on cargo type and exact destination.

What is the distance between Mendoza and Jujuy?

The distance between Mendoza and San Salvador de Jujuy is approximately 1,300 km, mainly via RN 40 North and RN 9. For Puna destinations —such as Susques, where lithium projects are concentrated— distances extend and access requires appropriate vehicles.

Do you transport inputs for lithium projects in Jujuy?

Yes. We operate the Mendoza–Jujuy route focused on lithium projects in the Jujuy Puna: Olaroz Fénix and Cauchari-Olaroz in Susques. We coordinate deliveries to zones above 3,900 masl with advance access scouting.

How long is the Mendoza–Jujuy transit?

The transit from Mendoza to San Salvador de Jujuy is approximately 16 to 18 hours via RN 40 North and RN 9. For Puna destinations —such as Susques— times extend depending on road type and weather conditions.

Do you have experience in logistics for lithium mining in Jujuy?

We operate logistics for mining projects of various scales and sectors. Our team knows the operational, documentary and HSE requirements of the mining sector in Argentina, including the specific conditions of the Puna.

Mendoza – Jujuy corridor

Logistics for the Jujuy lithium salt flats

The Mendoza–Jujuy route is about 1,500 km, the longest NOA corridor, with a transit of 17 to 19 hours via RN 40 and RN 9. The key mining destination is the Jujuy Puna: Susques, Olaroz and Cauchari-Olaroz, in full lithium production.

The focus is lithium mining: equipment, chemical inputs, construction materials and modules for the salt-flat camps. These are operations above 3,500 meters, so logistics are planned in detail for route, altitude and access conditions.

Jujuy is one of the highest-potential destinations given lithium investment. We coordinate one-off trips or continuous supply to the Puna projects. Tell us what you need and to which salt flat, and we quote within 24 business hours.
