The Paso de Jama is a mountain pass through the Andes between Chile and Argentina, at an altitude of about 4,400 m (14,400 ft).[1] It is the northernmost road border crossing between the two countries.
The pass links the town of Jujuy in Argentina with San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The road was opened on 6 December 1991, and is now paved throughout. It is open throughout the year, although occasionally closed by snow. It is used by truck traffic between northern Argentina and Paraguay and the ports of northern Chile.
The Argentine border station is just below the pass in the small settlement of Jama. The Chilean border station is at San Pedro de Atacama, 160 km from the pass.
