The Department of La Paz is a strategic and fundamental site of Mercosur, as its territory is completely crossed by National Route 7 from East to West and by National Route 146. These two roads communicate the region with the rest of the country and are key in the integration of the Southern Common Market. It is the main entrance to the Province of Mendoza, through the Desaguadero Arch.
