Year-round
Okay, buckle up for Sunchulli Pass in Bolivia's La Paz Department – a lung-buster at a whopping 5,034m (16,515ft)! Seriously, this is one of Bolivia's highest roads, so prepare for thin air.
You'll find it snaking through the Apolobamba Range, way out west near the border with Peru. Think rugged, remote, and ridiculously beautiful.
Forget smooth asphalt – this is an unpaved adventure from start to finish. This isn't just any road; it's an old Inca mining route, though bulldozers have been through to widen things (sort of).
The route winds from Hilo Hilo to Sunchulli villages, and it's all about hairpin turns and crazy steep climbs. Just a heads up: you'll need permission from the SERNAP office in La Paz before you even think about tackling this trek. But trust me, the views are worth the hassle.

hardCuesta Chita
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure junkies, buckle up for Cuesta Chita, a Chilean high-altitude thrill ride! This insane mountain pass punches its way up to a staggering 4,512m (that's 14,803ft!) in the Andes. We're talking some serious air up here. The whole B-159 route clocks in at about 59.4 km, linking the B-165 and B-245, and it's all above 3,000m. Picture this: endless sky, views for days... and lungs screaming for oxygen. The climb is brutal, the air is thin, and you'll feel every meter of elevation gain. Seriously, be prepared for altitude sickness—it’s a real thing. The road itself is paved, but don't expect a smooth ride. Expect sand and dust covering the road. Oh, and did I mention the wind? Get ready for strong, dry gusts, scorching sun (sunglasses are a MUST), and bring. plenty. of. water. Pro tip: pack two spare tires, minimum. You'll thank me later.
moderateWhere does the Trans-Chaco Highway start and end?
🇦🇷 Argentina
Okay, picture this: the Trans-Chaco Highway, or Ruta PY09 as the locals call it, stretching a whopping 775 kilometers (481 miles) across Paraguay, from José Falcón near Asunción all the way to the Bolivian border at Fortín Sgto. Rodríguez. You'll cruise through Central, Presidente Hayes, and Boquerón, eventually linking up with Argentina's National Route 11 and Bolivia's National Route 6. Once upon a time, this road was legendary for all the wrong reasons – think vehicles swallowed whole by mud during the rainy season! It got a full paving in 2007, but the asphalt didn't last, so be ready for a bumpy ride filled with dust, cracks, and potholes galore. The thin pavement really struggles with all the heavy trucks that use the road! While it's mostly straight, you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled every second to dodge those sneaky potholes. Driving at night? Maybe not, especially if it's your first time. The poor conditions make it extra risky. Plus, it's a pretty remote area – low traffic, sparse population – so stock up on extra food and water in case you run into trouble. Prepare for heat and a wild ride!
hardDriving the road to Laguna de la Azufrera is not a piece of cake
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! If you're craving a serious off-road experience in Chile's Antofagasta Region, Laguna de la Azufrera is calling your name. We're talking about a lake perched way up high at 4,288 meters (that's over 14,000 feet!), so be prepared for some thin air. The route, known as B-885, is a beast of a 4x4 track. Seriously, don't even think about attempting this in bad weather. The climb is intense, oxygen is scarce, and the steepness is relentless. If you're prone to altitude sickness, take note: most people start feeling it well before you even get close. The gravel surface can be loose and treacherous, especially on the edges. And if it's been raining, forget about it – this track turns into a muddy, slippery mess that'll test your driving skills to the max. But trust me, if you're up for the challenge, the views are absolutely worth it! Just be sure to check the weather forecast before you go, and maybe pack some oxygen.
hardConquering the scenic Y290 road in the Chilean Patagonia
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, picture this: You're cruising along Carretera Y290 in Chilean Patagonia, straddling Torres de Paine and Última Esperanza with Argentina just a stone's throw away. This road is a total hidden gem! Most of the 70.3 km (43.68 miles) is paved, making it doable in pretty much any car when it's dry. It connects the main paved highway CH-9 with the dirt road Y-150. Budget around 1.5 to 2 hours without stops, but trust me, you'll want to stop! This is the Camino Milodon Porteño (or Carretera Cueva del Milodon, if you prefer!) and the scenery is absolutely unreal. Just remember, you're heading into the wild, so come prepared. The road gets seriously steep in places, climbing up to 255m (836ft) at Mirador Grey. Winter can be intense, so chains are a good idea. Honestly, the sweet spot is December to February – that's when Southern Hemisphere summer kicks in, and the weather's at its best for an epic road trip.
