Year-round
BR-163 is a wild ride through the Brazilian Amazon that you won't forget!
Okay, so it used to be *infamous*. We're talking trucks swallowed by mud for days on end. Picture this: a desolate, dusty track that turned into an absolute nightmare during the rainy season (December to June). Vehicles could be stuck for over a week!
But guess what? In 2021, they finally paved the whole thing! That crazy 10-day round trip? Sliced down to 4! But heads up, heavy trucks during super wet weather could still mess things up a bit.
This epic highway stretches 1,732 km (1,076 miles) from Cuiabá (Mato Grosso's capital) all the way to Santarém (the second-biggest Amazon River city after Manaus, in Pará state). Get ready for an adventure!

extremeCaylloma Mine
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in the Arequipa Region of southern Peru, nestled high in the Andes, is Mina Caylloma, a massive open-pit mine that claws its way up to a staggering 16,230 feet! The route to get there? It's not for the faint of heart! We're talking a seriously steep, gravel mine trail leading straight to the heart of the copper, gold, lead, silver, and zinc action. The views are insane, but so is the altitude! Oxygen gets pretty scarce up there, so be prepared for the possibility of altitude sickness (most people start feeling it way lower, around 8,200-9,200 feet). And don't just think about the lack of air – this place throws harsh weather, intense sun, crazy winds, and freezing temps into the mix. So yeah, breathtaking scenery, but prepare for a serious challenge!
hardCerro Cachi Laguna
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Cerro Cachi Laguna in southwest Bolivia, near the Chilean border, is not for the faint of heart. We're talking a whopping 5,491 meters (18,015 feet) above sea level! This is one of the highest roads in the whole country, so buckle up. The road is pure, unadulterated gravel and rock. Imagine a harsh desert landscape, dotted with seriously steep, rocky climbs. A 4x4 isn’t optional; it's essential. We're talking high clearance, skid plates, and differential lockers. Seriously, leave your stock vehicle at home. Huge, jagged rocks demand precision driving, and punctures are a real threat. Oh, and navigation? Forget about it! The network of roads is a confusing mess, and even a GPS can struggle to keep you on track. Never, ever attempt this solo. The altitude is brutal, altitude sickness is a genuine risk, and the weather can turn on a dime. Add in the steep grades and complete isolation, and you've got a recipe for a seriously challenging drive. Plus, it's a mine road, so expect some industrial traffic. But hey, if you're after epic scenery and bragging rights, this might just be your ultimate adventure.
moderateRuta 24
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, picture this: you're cruising down Ruta 24 in northern Chile, right in the heart of the Atacama Desert. Seriously, this place is *dry*! This 156km stretch of perfectly paved road connects Calama and Tocopilla, and it's an absolute feast for the eyes. Starting in Calama at a cool 2,260 meters above sea level, you'll wind your way down towards the coast to Tocopilla. Forget your everyday scenery - we're talking full-on desert vibes with salt flats, volcanoes, geysers, and even hot springs popping up along the way. The landscape is straight out of a sci-fi movie! Think moon-like valleys, crazy rock formations, one massive sand dune, and mountains painted with streaks of pink. It's a photographer's dream come true!
hardThe Ultimate Guide to Conquering Cerro Tecar
🇨🇱 Chile
Alright, adventure junkies, buckle up for Cerro Tecar in Chile's Atacama Desert! This isn't your Sunday drive. We're talking serious elevation – a whopping 5,088m (16,692ft)! Nestled high in the Antofagasta region, near the Argentinian border, this road is one of Chile’s highest. Forget smooth pavement; this is a curvy, unpaved climb from Monturaqui on Road B55. Clocking in at about 25.3 km (15.72 miles), you'll gain a massive 1,647 meters in altitude. Expect some seriously steep sections, with gradients hitting a maximum of 13%! The average incline is around 6.5%, so make sure your vehicle is ready for a workout. The scenery? Absolutely unreal, but keep your eyes on the road – this is an adventure that demands respect!
