Year-round
Alright, adventure junkies, buckle up for La Cumbre Apacheta in Bolivia's La Paz Department! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking serious altitude here – a whopping 4,871m (15,980ft) above sea level, making it one of the highest roads in the country.
Tucked away in the stunning Cordillera Real of the Andes, the road to the summit is a gravel grinder, and let me tell you, it’s STEEP. Seriously, don't even think about tackling this beast in bad weather. The air gets thin up here, and the climb is brutal. You'll be gasping for air thanks to the altitude (most people start feeling it around 2,500-2,800 meters), so be prepared. But hey, think of the views! Plus, La Cumbre is the launchpad for most trips down the famous Yungas Road. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!

moderateRodovia da Graciosa is a cobblestoned road through the mountains
🇧🇷 Brazil
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along Rodovia da Graciosa in Paraná, Brazil, an old mule route that's now a super scenic road trip! This isn't just any drive, it's a journey back in time on the PR-410, a 30km (18-mile) stretch that weaves its way through the mountains of Marumbi National Park. Originally built way back in the 17th century, this road – completed in 1873 - was actually the first paved road in the state! You'll still find sections with cobblestones – gorgeous, but watch out, they can get slick, especially around those hairpin turns. As you drive, you're surrounded by lush Atlantic Forest. Seriously, it's like driving through a postcard, with vibrant blue hydrangeas popping against the green. Waterfalls, streams, and tons of crazy cool plants and animals are everywhere. Keep an eye out for rest stops along the way! They have fire grills, shelters, and camping areas, so you can really soak in the experience. And the views? Forget about it! The mountainside is a crazy mix of flowers, with viewpoints and picnic areas galore. Estrada da Graciosa – trust me, this is one drive you won't forget.
hardAbra de Porcuya
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, folks, buckle up for Abra de Porcuya! This high-altitude mountain pass, sitting pretty at 2,137 meters (that's 7,011 feet for my American friends), is nestled in the Huancabamba province of Peru. You'll be cruising along Carretera 3N, also known as the Fernando Belaúnde Terry Highway, and yes, it's paved. But don't let that fool you, this road is STEEP. Seriously, maybe skip the extra helping of that delicious Peruvian food before you head out. The winding roads and high elevation might have your stomach doing somersaults. And a word to the wise: check the weather before you go – you don't want to be caught up here in a storm! But hey, the views are totally worth it.

🇵🇪 Peru

These aren't just hills, people; these are colossal, ice-crowned peaks scraping the sky at over 20,000 feet. Seriously breathtaking. Now, to experience this firsthand, you've gotta drive. And let me tell you, the roads here? Epic. Think winding, high-altitude routes that'll challenge your driving skills and reward you with views you won't believe are real. We're talking some of the highest, most remote roads on the planet. Get ready for an adventure!

🇵🇪 Peru
Alright, thrill-seekers, buckle up for Abra de Rumualdo in the Caylloma Province of Peru! This bad boy tops out at a staggering 3,434m (11,266ft) above sea level, so be prepared for some seriously thin air. You'll be tackling the Carretera Cincha – Huanca, and let me tell you, it's not for the faint of heart. We're talking avalanches, landslides, and a road surface that steadily deteriorates from asphalt to a single lane of asphalt, and then to a gravel mule track. Keep an eye on the weather because snowstorms and blizzards can roll in out of nowhere. Expect over 200 turns, including some seriously tight hairpin switchbacks. The road is incredibly steep, so maybe lay off that extra helping of lunch – you might be feeling a little queasy as you wind your way up. The views, if you dare to take your eyes off the road, are absolutely breathtaking, but this is one drive where courage and skill are absolutely essential!
