The Horacio Guzmán International Bridge is a bridge that links the city of La Quiaca, Jujuy Province, Argentina, with the city of Villazón, in the Potosí Department of Bolivia, crossing the La Quiaca River. The concrete bridge, 31 meters long and 7.8 meters wide, was opened on July 9, 1960.^[1]

As the customs of both countries are not integrated, the procedures must be carried out on both banks of the La Quiaca River.

It is the only border crossing enabled in the province of Jujuy to the neighboring Plurinational State of Bolivia.^[2]
