Ruta Provincial 2

Year-round
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along the Ruta Provincial 2 in Argentina's Valdes Peninsula, right on the Atlantic coast. This isn't your average Sunday drive – it's a 139km adventure!
The road starts with some nice asphalt, but quickly turns into "ripio," which is basically gravel. It connects the Ruta Nacional 3 to the tiny town of Punta Delgada on the Golfo Nuevo. Now, weather here is WILD. Valdes Peninsula is semi-arid, so things change fast, and the wind can be intense. That's why they recommend sticking to 60km/hour. Trust me, a cracked windshield or flat tire will ruin your wildlife spotting!
Speaking of which, this route is all about the scenery. You'll have the chance to spot massive marine animals in their natural habitat. It’s usually maintained so a normal car *could* do it if you’re careful and the weather is good. That said, for max comfort and fewer worries, seriously consider renting a 4x4. The gravel can get loose, especially on the edges, and muddy after rain. Basically, come prepared for an adventure!

moderateTunel San Rafael
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Alright, adventurers, listen up! Deep in the La Paz Department of Bolivia, you'll find the San Rafael Tunnel, a seriously high-altitude experience sitting pretty at 9,973 feet above sea level. Nestled in the Cordillera Real, part of the majestic Andes Mountains, this tunnel is on Ruta 3 (the Cotapata-Santa Bárbara road). It took about three years to build, from 2001 to 2004. At just over 4,500 feet long, it's a pretty cool stretch. Keep an eye on your speedometer—the limit is 40 kph. The road is mostly paved, but watch out for a few gravel sections that add a bit of rugged charm to the drive. Get ready for some stunning scenery!
moderateA 4x4 mine road to Marancales Sur in the Andes
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Ever dreamed of conquering a volcano on wheels? Marancales Sur is calling your name! This beast of a road straddles the Argentina/Chile border, clocking in as one of the highest routes in either country. We're talking serious Andes Mountains vibes here, with the volcano acting as a natural boundary between Argentina's San Juan Province and Chile's Atacama Region. Now, hold on tight: the entire road to the summit is pure, unadulterated dirt. Forget your fancy sports car; you'll need a 4x4 to tackle this terrain. Word on the street is the area is loaded with copper and gold, so expect a rugged mining road experience. Fair warning: the climate is no joke. Think biting winds and frigid temperatures, classic high-altitude Andes stuff. And here's the kicker – this road is strictly a summer fling (December to April). The rest of the year, Mother Nature slams the door shut with a mountain of snow. So, plan your trip accordingly!
hardLaguna Chiuri
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! I just got back from the most insane trek in Central Peru, up to Laguna Chiuri! This place is seriously otherworldly, perched way up high in the Department of Lima at a staggering 15,839 feet above sea level. Now, getting there isn't for the faint of heart. The road is gravel, and bumpy as all get-out. You'll definitely want a 4x4 for this one, trust me. And keep an eye on the weather, because even a little rain can turn this route into a real challenge. Watch out for those sneaky patches of loose gravel too - they can really throw you for a loop! But if you come prepared, you are in for some majestic views that you will not soon forget.
extremeAlto de Tapacocha
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, thrill-seekers, buckle up for Alto de Tapacocha, a Peruvian peak soaring to 15,524 feet! You'll find this bad boy in the Recuay province. The road to the top? Gravel, baby! But don't think it's gonna be a leisurely cruise. This climb is seriously steep – think up to an 18% grade. And pro tip: skip it if the weather's looking dicey. Even in summer, ice and snow can be a real problem, so keep your wits about you. Winter snowfalls can shut it down completely. Heads up – the altitude is NO joke. We're talking seriously thin air. If you've got any heart or breathing issues, maybe sit this one out. Most people start feeling altitude sickness way lower, around 8,000-9,000 feet. Up here, there’s about 40% less oxygen than at sea level, so breathing gets tough, your heart races, and even walking feels like a workout. Altitude sickness can hit anyone, so be prepared. Oh, and your engine might struggle with the lack of oxygen too! Definitely bring a 4x4. Things get muddy after it rains. The high elevation, the risk of altitude sickness, the crazy steepness, and how remote it is all combine to make this a tough trip. The views, though? Totally worth the challenge.
