Year-round
Okay, adventure seekers, buckle up for Abra Puca Loma, a seriously sky-high mountain pass! You'll find this beast in southwestern Bolivia's Cordillera de Lípez, specifically in the Sud Lípez Province of the Potosí Department. We're talking a whopping 4,804m (15,761ft) above sea level – yeah, one of Bolivia's highest!
The road? Let's just say it's "rustic" – totally unpaved. It's not crazy steep, but don't be fooled. This journey through remote areas and the sheer altitude gain demand respect and preparation. Rain can turn the road into a real challenge. Plus, avalanches, heavy snow, and landslides are potential hazards, and icy patches can appear out of nowhere. So, pack smart: water, food, extra fuel, a warm jacket, and reliable GPS with maps are must-haves! The scenery though? Absolutely epic!

hardLaguna Saquicocha
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! You HAVE to check out Laguna Saquicocha, a mind-blowing lagoon chilling way up in the Ancash Region of Peru, at a staggering 14,425 feet! The road to get there? Buckle up, buttercup! It's a bumpy gravel track that demands a 4x4, especially after any rain. Seriously, even a little drizzle can make things interesting. Be warned: the road can get seriously steep with some sudden loose gravel spots waiting to surprise you! The climb kicks off from the AN-111 road, winding upwards for about 4 kilometers, tackling a crazy 12 hairpin turns. You'll gain almost 300 meters in elevation, making for an average climb of nearly 7%. Oh, and keep an eye on the weather – this high up, snow is a real possibility, and the road can close in winter. But trust me, if you can handle the challenge, the views in the Pampas Galeras National Reserve are absolutely worth it!
moderateIquitos: The Largest City in the World Without Road Access to the Outside
🇵🇪 Peru
Ever dreamed of going *really* off-grid? Head to Iquitos, Peru, the Amazon's biggest city – totally cut off from the world by road! Seriously, to get here you're looking at a boat or a flight... or taking the one and only road in or out. Road 103 links Iquitos to the town of Nauta, stretching for 108 km (67 miles) through northeastern Loreto. Think of it as a lifeline between the region's two main hubs. Fully paved since 2004, the road hugs the mighty Amazon River. But don't get *too* excited about a road trip; Nauta's the end of the line. This isn’t the starting point for an epic overland adventure. This is an isolated route in the heart of the jungle. Keep in mind, you're deep in the Amazon, so things like malaria are a real risk. But hey, that's part of the adventure, right? Get ready for a journey unlike anything you've experienced!
extremeRuta A-235
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure junkies, buckle up for the A-235! This isn't just a road trip; it's a high-altitude escapade smack-dab in Chile's Las Vicuñas National Reserve. We're talking serious elevation here—the entire route cruises above 4,100 meters! Stretching for nearly 90 km, the A-235 connects the A-319 and A-201 highways, passing through Guallatire and Ancuta. The gravel road is usually well-maintained. This route, also known as Ruta San Pedro de Atacama – Cusco, tops out at a lung-busting 4,360 meters above sea level. The elevation is not the only challenge: be aware of the weather, and after it rains, watch out for river crossings.
hardSalar de Aguas Calientes: an awe-inspiring route through extremely remote areas
🇨🇱 Chile
Salar de Aguas Calientes: Picture this – a shimmering salt flat nestled high in the Andes of northern Chile's Antofagasta Region. We're talking seriously high altitude here, topping out at 4,250m (13,943ft)! During the day, you might be sweating in 30°C heat, but brace yourself – nights can plummet below freezing, especially in winter. And the wind? Let's just say it's a constant companion. This road, also known as Salar de Tara, snakes through a landscape that feels more like Mars than Earth. It's all paved, making it accessible even for 2WD vehicles wanting a taste of extreme altitude. But don't let the smooth surface fool you. This is remote territory. Cell service? Forget about it. The nearest gas station could be up to 160 km away. Winding through Los Flamencos National Reserve on a high desert plateau, this road is generally open year-round (snow permitting). It's a long, straight shot across the Andes, and you will be at an average height of 3,000 m.a.s.l. Clocking in at 156.19 km (97.05 mi), the route stretches from San Pedro de Atacama all the way to the Argentinian border. Be ready for some serious winds, blazing sun, and bring enough water for everyone in your vehicle! A couple of spare tires wouldn't hurt either. And keep an eye out for some seriously steep sections – we're talking gradients of up to 12.6% in places!
