Year-round
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 is Parinacota?
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Want to experience driving at a seriously high altitude? Head to Putre in the Arica and Parinacota Region, snuggled way up in the Lauca National Park. We're talking 4,400 meters (that's 14,400 feet!) above sea level, making this one of the highest drivable towns on the planet. The drive itself? Get ready for breathtaking scenery. Think snow-capped volcanoes piercing the sky, steaming hot springs bubbling away, and incredible high-altitude lakes reflecting the vastness of it all. Keep your eyes peeled for the unique plants and animals that call this place home! The road leads to Parinacota, a small village that's actually the capital of the General Lagos commune.

hardWhat’s the world’s highest ski resort?
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk about Ruta Chacaltaya in Bolivia! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking about a 9.6 km (5.96 miles) unpaved climb starting near Ingenio, hauling you up 635 meters to a staggering 5,260m (17,257ft) above sea level. Yeah, you'll need a 4x4 – and maybe a bit of courage because this baby gets steep, like up to 14% steep! The road's narrow, a little rough, and those drop-offs? Let's just say they add some "spice" to the journey. What awaits you at the top? The remains of what was once the world's highest ski resort. Snow's gone now thanks to climate change, but the views are unreal. Seriously, the panoramas of Huayna Potosi, Mururata, and Illimani are incredible, not to mention the sprawling views of La Paz and El Alto. If you squint hard enough, you might even catch a glimpse of Lake Titicaca in the distance. And if you're feeling extra energetic, hike another 100 meters to the actual summit. Plus, for the science nerds, there's a gamma-ray research lab up there! Is it worth the white-knuckle drive? Absolutely!
extremeDriving to Abra Wallatani: One of the highest mining roads in Bolivia
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Conquer the legendary Abra Wallatani, an extreme mountain pass soaring to a dizzying 5,233m (17,168ft) in Bolivia's La Paz Department. Situated in the heart of the Inquisivi Province, just below the imposing Wallatani peak and west of Quime, this isn't your typical Sunday drive. This 20 km (12.4 miles) route linking Chojñacota and Rodeo isn't paved with roses, or asphalt for that matter. It's a gritty, unpaved mining road carved into the Cordillera Real, a place where fortunes are dug from the earth. Expect a mix of sharp rocks, loose gravel, and sections of deep dust, all on a narrow track that demands respect. A high-clearance 4x4 is your trusty steed here. The steep sections will test your vehicle's low-range gears and your nerves. And remember, this isn't a scenic route with safety barriers—sheer drops await the unwary! You'll be sharing the road with heavy mining trucks, so be prepared to yield and find a safe passing spot. The surface can be uneven and "tippy" from their heavy loads, so slow and steady wins the race. The real challenge? The altitude. At over 5,200 meters, even simple tasks become a struggle. Acclimatize well before attempting this drive! The weather is also a wild card. Be prepared for sudden snowstorms, even in the dry season (May to September). Getting stuck up here is no joke, so pack extra fuel, oxygen, and warm gear. But oh, the views! For those seeking raw, high-altitude scenery, Abra Wallatani is a dream come true. Just remember to treat the mountain—and your machine—with the utmost respect.
