Year-round
Okay, picture this: You're cruising through the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, heading towards Laguna Santa Rosa. This isn't your average lake – it's a high-altitude salt lake sitting pretty at 12,500 feet!
The road to get there, C-601, winds through Nevado Tres Cruces National Park and is a mix of gravel and sand, adding to the off-road vibe. Be warned though, this track can get seriously muddy and slippery after it rains, making it a real adventure even in a 4x4. In fact, after a storm, you might find the road totally impassable.
During the day, you'll be basking in temperatures that can reach 30°C. But as night falls, prepare for a chilly drop, especially in winter when it can get below freezing! And to top it off, the area is known for strong winds that whip across the landscape. But hey, the scenery is absolutely worth it!

hardWhere is Laguna Llancanelo located, and what is the road like?
🇦🇷 Argentina
Okay, picture this: you're in southern Mendoza Province, Argentina, itching for an off-the-beaten-path adventure. Your destination? The incredible Laguna Llancanelo, a high-altitude saline lake chilling at over 4,000 feet in the Andean foothills. The route in is Ruta Provincial 186, a 54-mile stretch from the paved RN40 (south of Malargüe) to the unpaved RP180, near Agua Escondida. The road's mostly sandy, and while it's usually okay for a regular car if it's dry, be warned: rain turns this track into a muddy slip-n-slide! If it's been wet, you'll definitely want a 4x4 to tackle the slick sections. Keep your speed under 40 mph. But trust me, the views are worth it! Llancanelo Lake is a designated wetland of international importance. We're talking flamingos galore and tons of other migratory birds hanging out in this unique ecosystem. It's remote, rugged, and totally unforgettable.
extremeLlanganuco Orconcocha
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, picture this: You're in Peru, high in the Andes, staring at a lake so blue it looks like it's been photoshopped. That's Llanganuco Orconcocha, sitting pretty at 3,850m (12,631ft)! The only way to get there is Carretera de Yungay, or Carretera 106. This gravel road isn't messing around. Think crazy hairpin turns, switchbacks that'll make your head spin, and oh yeah, massive drop-offs on one side and towering rock cliffs on the other. You're basically driving through a super narrow glacial valley, with giants like Huascaran, Huandoy, and Chopicalqui mountains all around. The scenery is unreal, like straight out of a postcard. But heads up: this isn't a Sunday drive. We're talking zero guardrails, a serious lack of oxygen, and a steep climb that'll leave you breathless. Altitude sickness is a real thing up here. If you're not comfortable with heights or unpaved mountain roads, maybe skip this one. One wrong move and… well, let's just say it's a long way down. But if you're an experienced driver with a sense of adventure, this is one unforgettable ride.
hardA Wild Unpaved Road to Pico de las Antenas
🇪🇨 Ecuador
Pico de las Antenas is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 4,350 m (14,271 ft) above sea level, located in Ecuador. It’s one of the highest roads in the country. The peak is called Pico de las Antenas (“Antenas Peak”) due to an array of telecommunication antennas and towers at the summit, commonly known as Papallacta Antennas. The peak is located east of Quito, on the boundary of Pichincha and Napo Provinces, in the north-central part of the country, within the Parque Nacional Cayambe Coca. The road to the summit is totally unpaved and challenging, with big rocks, sharp turns, steep parts, and narrow sections. A 4x4 vehicle is required. If you go, be prepared for very high elevation conditions. Set high in the Andes just off the Eastern Cordilleras, the road to the summit is 3.5 km (2.17 miles) long starting from La Virgen Pass. Over this distance, the elevation gain is 276 m and the average gradient is 7.88%.Pic: Jesus Ramos Martin Embark on a journey like never before!

extremeHow to get by car to Alto de Chorillos?
🇦🇷 Argentina
Deep in the rugged Salta Province of northwest Argentina awaits Alto de Chorillos, a high-altitude peak that'll leave you breathless (literally!). Situated in the heart of the Puna de Atacama, you'll feel like you've landed on another planet. The adventure kicks off from RN51, the iconic highway that connects Salta to Chile. From the junction, it's a mere 6.2 kilometers (3.8 miles) to the summit, but don't let the short distance fool you. While the gradient is manageable, the real challenge is the elevation. At nearly 5,000 meters, your engine will be gasping for air, losing up to half its power! Expect a tightly hairpinned, bumpy gravel road that demands a 4x4 to handle the loose gravel and steep ramps leading to the LLAMA astronomical observatory. The gravel track can be treacherous. Impassable in winter due to snow, it can close anytime snow isn't cleared. Even a bit of rain turns the arid soil into a slippery trap. If heights aren't your thing, be warned: significant drop-offs and narrow sections with no barriers abound. Proper preparation is key. Ensure your vehicle's cooling system is top-notch, and consider bringing extra oxygen or taking it slow to avoid altitude sickness. The climate here is arid and cold, with highs ranging from 14°C to 21°C (57F to 70F). The real danger lurks in the freezing nights and midwinter extremes. Precipitation, mainly in the form of summer storms, can be sudden and violent. High winds are a constant, and the intense solar radiation at this altitude can quickly dehydrate you and your vehicle. But why brave all this? Because reaching Alto de Chorillos means reaching one of South America's most advanced scientific sites. The LLAMA observatory sits atop the peak thanks to the thin, dry atmosphere, perfect for radio-astronomy. Conquering this high-altitude desert is an exercise in self-sufficiency. There are no services, water, or help for miles, so pack recovery gear and emergency supplies before leaving RN51. Get ready for an off-road experience that's as thrilling as it is scary!
