Frequently asked questions

Freight Mendoza —
Salta & NOA.

Do you transport inputs to the lithium triangle (Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca)?

Yes. We operate the Mendoza–NOA route with a focus on lithium projects in the Puna. We coordinate deliveries to remote high-altitude zones, including saltflats and camps above 3,500 masl.

How do you access saltflats and high-altitude projects?

Each operation in high-mountain zones requires advance route scouting and appropriate vehicles. We conduct access analysis, coordinate provincial permits and plan the convoy according to cargo type.

Do you have experience with lithium projects?

We operate logistics for mining projects of various natures and scales. Our team knows the operational and documentary requirements of the mining sector in Argentina.

How long is the Mendoza–Salta transit?

The transit from Mendoza to Salta city is approximately 14 to 16 hours via RN 40 North and RN 51. For Puna projects or saltflats, times extend depending on final destination access.

Do you also operate toward Jujuy and Catamarca?

Yes, we cover the entire lithium triangle: Salta, Jujuy and Catamarca. The departure point is always Mendoza. For Catamarca, the standard route is RN 40 North.

Mendoza – Salta & NOA corridor

Cargo to the north and the lithium triangle

The Mendoza–Salta route is about 1,350 km via RN 40 and RN 9, with a transit of 16 to 18 hours. It is the gateway to the NOA region: from Salta city we continue toward the Puna and the lithium salt flats, one of the fastest-growing mining areas in the country.

We carry supplies and materials for lithium projects, machinery, housing modules and general cargo. The altitude of the Puna and the salt-flat roads demand planning: we coordinate the unit type and timing based on the final destination within the province.

It is a strategic corridor given the lithium boom in the north. If your operation needs regular supply to Salta or the Puna, we set up a frequency. Request your quote and we reply within 24 business hours.
