Year-round
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! If you're in the Huaral province of Peru and looking for an adrenaline rush, Carretera LM-110 is calling your name.
This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks. We're talking about 50.8 kilometers (31.5 miles) of pure, unadulterated gravel and bumpiness, all set at a lung-busting 2,500 meters above sea level. Seriously, night driving or poor visibility? Hard pass unless you're a seasoned pro.
Think hairpin turns – we're talking 29 of them – and dizzying drop-offs that could make your stomach do somersaults. We're talking vertical drops of over 1,000 meters just waiting on some turns. And did I mention there are basically no guardrails? Reaching a peak elevation of 3,375 meters (11,072 feet), this route links the villages of San José and Sumbilca, nestled in the heart of the Andes.
Pro tip: if your travel buddies get carsick easily, maybe choose a different adventure. But if you're up for a challenge with views that'll take your breath away (if the altitude doesn't first!), this road is an absolute must-do.

extremeHow to Get by Car to Laguna Canchiscocha, Laguna Fudococha, and Laguna Tayacocha in the Cordillera Negra?
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! I've got a seriously epic road for you: the route to Laguna Canchiscocha, Laguna Fudococha, and Laguna Tayacocha in Peru's Yungay Province. Nestled way up in the Ancash Region, in the Huaylas Valley, this trio of high-mountain lagoons is worth the trek, but be warned: it's not for the faint of heart! The road is a beast – unpaved, rocky, and clinging to the side of the Cordillera Negra range with zero guardrails. Think serious drop-offs and a few hairpin turns right at the end to keep you on your toes. You'll top out at a staggering 4,561m (14,963ft), so keep an eye on the weather, as fog is a frequent visitor. This is seriously remote, so rally your crew. You'll need a 4x4 for this one; anything less just won't cut it. Starting from Abra Tsactsapunta, a mountain pass sitting pretty at 4,472m (14,671ft), you've got a wild 8.9 km (5.5 miles) to go. Trust me, the views of those lagoons at the end make it all worthwhile!
extremeThe road to Abra de Acjanaco is not for timid drivers
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, buckle up for Abra de Acjanaco in Peru's Paucartambo province! This mountain pass tops out at a whopping 3,502 meters (11,489 feet), so get ready for some serious altitude. The road? Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. Think unpaved, narrow, and relentlessly steep. Snowfall can shut it down in a heartbeat, and the frequent heavy mist makes visibility a real challenge. Plus, avalanches, heavy snow, and landslides are a constant threat, especially with those sneaky patches of ice. The oxygen gets thin up there, so be prepared to feel the burn! Altitude sickness can kick in for many people around 2,500-2,800 meters, so take it slow and listen to your body. But the views? Totally worth the challenge!

🇦🇷 Argentina
Alright, adventure seekers, picture this: you're way down south in Argentina, practically at the bottom of the world, about to cross the ridiculously cool Moat River bridge. This wooden wonder is only 42 meters long, but trust me, it feels epic! Get ready for a 90km gravel road trip through scenery that'll blow your mind. This route? Pure Patagonia magic. Just a heads up, though: keep your eyes peeled, because the road can be a bit rough and rugged. But hey, that's half the fun, right? Get ready for an unforgettable ride!
hardWhere is Abra Huacullo?
🇵🇪 Peru
Alright, adventure junkies, buckle up for Abra Huacullo in the Apurímac region of Peru! This isn't your Sunday drive. Nestled way up in the Andes, this route hits a staggering 16,410 feet above sea level. We're talking serious altitude! So, where is this hidden gem? Think Cusco region. This is Carretera 111, a proper mining road, so expect plenty of trucks. Trust me, you'll want a high-clearance vehicle for this one. What's the road like? It’s mostly unpaved with sandy sections and some seriously tight, hair-raising hairpin turns that'll test your driving skills. The inclines are steep, and let’s just say the road surface can be…challenging. How long is this epic stretch? The route clocks in at roughly 42.56 miles, carving its way through the Wansu mountain range of the Andes, connecting Río Jeuñamarca to the AR-105 road. Get ready for views that'll take your breath away… if the altitude doesn't first!
