San Cristóbal is the commercial centre of the Andes and the gateway to the Colombian border. From Valencia the most efficient trip descends through Los Llanos to Barinas and climbs Troncal 5, ten to twelve hours of road.
We schedule weekly departures with an overnight stop and drivers used to the mountains and the changeable weather of Táchira.

Mountains, weather and packaging
The climb from Barinas and the rain in the mountain range require well-stowed cargo and packaging that withstands humidity and vibration. We check the stowage before leaving and recommend palletising everything possible.
In the rainy season there can be occasional road closures; we stay in contact with the driver and let you know of any change to the arrival time.
Deliveries in Barinas on the same route
Barinas and Guanare are on the way, so cargo for the western plains is combined with the trip to San Cristóbal and lowers the freight cost for both destinations.
For the border we deliver in San Antonio and Ureña; the crossing into Colombia requires an authorised operator with whom we can coordinate the handover.
