Cardenal Samoré International Crossing
This is the only passage that keeps open all the year round. It connects Neuquén Province with Chilean cities: Osorno, Frutillar, Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt.

You start the journey along National Route 231 towards Siete Lagos Road. After 10 km. you turn left at the place where you will find a sign that indicates the way towards Paso Cardenal Samore (ex Puyehue), to Chile. First, you will find a Gendarmerie Post and then the Customs Principal Office.

The Argentinean Customs, El Rincón, is located 27 km. from the village, and the Chilean Customs is 40 km. further on. To arrive there, you go up along a rubble road up to the passage that is 1314 metres above sea level.
From the Frontier Landmark, there’s pavement and a lot of curves up to Chilean Customs, El Pajarito, 23 km. from this place. When you cross this place you go through The Andes, up to 2000 metres above sea level.

Once in Chile you can visit, towards the north, Valdivia an Temuco cities, and towards the south, Osorno, Frutillar, Puerto Varas and Puerto Mont cities, enjoying the beauty of the landscape, in addition to the Puyehue’s Hot Springs and the possibility to appreciate the trans-Andean country’s traditions and culture.
