This corridor, which will stretch over 2,400 kilometers, seeks to consolidate a trade route between these countries, starting from Campo Grande in Brazil and ending in the ports of northern Chile (Antofagasta, Iquique, and Mejillones).
This is a mega-infrastructure project that will strengthen the connection between the member countries, bolstering their economies by generating new commercial and logistical opportunities, and saving time and miles in the transport of exported goods.2.400
