Year-round
Alright, adventure seekers, buckle up for Abra Falda Cienaga in Argentina's Catamarca Province! This baby tops out at a whopping 4,436 meters (14,553 feet), so get ready for some thin air. Also known as Abra Puntas Gordas, this isn't your Sunday drive.
We're talking Ruta Provincial 43 (RP43), and "unpaved" is the name of the game. Seriously, you'll NEED a 4x4 for this one. Heights not your thing? Maybe grab a travel magazine instead. The stretch from Salar del Hombre Muerto to Antofagasta is rough, with plenty of sand and washboard sections to keep you on your toes.
Perched high in the northwest, some sections are being upgraded with asphalt. Word on the street is the south side descent is smoother sailing. Get ready for some insane scenery!

moderateThe challenging Puente Río Moat
🇦🇷 Argentina
Alright, adventure seekers, picture this: you're way down south in Argentina, practically at the bottom of the world, about to cross the ridiculously cool Moat River bridge. This wooden wonder is only 42 meters long, but trust me, it feels epic! Get ready for a 90km gravel road trip through scenery that'll blow your mind. This route? Pure Patagonia magic. Just a heads up, though: keep your eyes peeled, because the road can be a bit rough and rugged. But hey, that's half the fun, right? Get ready for an unforgettable ride!
moderateDriving 25km above 4,900m on the gravel road to Peru's Abra Azuca
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! I just conquered Abra Azuca, and WOW, what a ride! Perched way up high in the Peruvian Andes, right on the border between Cusco and Apurimac, this baby tops out at a staggering 5,190 meters (that's 17,027 feet!). Seriously, you're breathing some thin air up there. This isn't your typical Sunday drive; the 25.1 km (15.59 miles) from Abra Culipampa to the summit is all unpaved, a rugged path snaking through the Wansu mountains. Think epic views, seriously beautiful scenery that'll make your jaw drop. The road itself? Surprisingly decent, mostly because it's used by mining trucks. Expect gentle inclines for the most part, though there are a few steeper sections to keep things interesting. Pro tip: Acclimatize, acclimatize, acclimatize! This is high altitude, and you'll want to enjoy the experience, not gasp for air. Word on the street is this is one of the highest passes in South America, so you know it's legit!
moderateTunel San Rafael
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Alright, adventurers, listen up! Deep in the La Paz Department of Bolivia, you'll find the San Rafael Tunnel, a seriously high-altitude experience sitting pretty at 9,973 feet above sea level. Nestled in the Cordillera Real, part of the majestic Andes Mountains, this tunnel is on Ruta 3 (the Cotapata-Santa Bárbara road). It took about three years to build, from 2001 to 2004. At just over 4,500 feet long, it's a pretty cool stretch. Keep an eye on your speedometer—the limit is 40 kph. The road is mostly paved, but watch out for a few gravel sections that add a bit of rugged charm to the drive. Get ready for some stunning scenery!
hardDriving the potholed road to Abra Chaucha in the central highlands
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, buckle up, adventure seekers! Abra Chaucha in Peru is calling your name! This incredible mountain pass punches through the Andes at a staggering 4,728m (15,511ft) – that's HIGH! You'll find it east of Lima, straddling the Junín and Lima regions, smack-dab in the Peruvian central highlands. It's part of Carretera 24, a 118km (73-mile) route from Huancayo to Tinco that’s an east-west rollercoaster ride. Now, the road IS paved... but hold your horses! It’s seen better days, let’s just say. Think narrow stretches, seriously steep climbs, and more potholes than you can shake a stick at. Trust me, you do NOT want to tackle this at night. Some of those potholes are absolute monsters and could leave your ride seriously hurting – we're talking suspension, shocks, the whole shebang. But, if you're up for it, the scenery along this route is seriously dramatic, with pass after pass offering insane highland views! Get ready for an unforgettable ride!
