Of course should have been Chile :-)

Snows close South American highway
17 Jun 2007

Heavy snow in the Andes resulted in the closure of the Cristo Redentor
tunnel on the border between Argentina and China earlier this week.

The Associated Press reports on June 13th that snowfall on Wednesday
left thousands of trucks stuck on roads on both sides of the border as
officials closed the tunnel for an estimated 72 hours, according to the
Telam news agency.

Drivers were advised to find other places to cross the border while the
high winds and snowstorms continued.

The Cristo Redentor tunnel is located 10,400 feet above sea level and is
1.9 miles long.
