Year-round
Okay, adventurers, listen up! You NEED to add Cerro Galán in Argentina to your bucket list. Picture this: you're in the wild, remote Catamarca Province, practically spitting distance from Salta, ready to tackle one of the world's biggest volcanic calderas.
First thing's first: leave your low-rider at home! This ain't no Sunday drive. We're talking 80km (50 miles) of pure, unadulterated, unpaved road starting from El Peñón. You'll need a high-clearance 4x4. Seriously. Also, check the width of your vehicle, some parts get a bit tight.
The altitude? A cool 4,964m (16,286ft). Translation: breathtaking views, thin air. And speaking of breathtaking, this is NOT the place to go rogue. Seriously, hook up with a guide through the local tourist office. Trust me on this one. You do NOT want to get lost out here. But the scenery? Totally worth it.

extremeDriving one of the highest roads of South America to Tacora Volcano
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in the Arica y Parinacota Region of Chile, practically straddling the Peruvian border, lies Volcan Tacora, and let me tell you, it’s a showstopper. This stratovolcano boasts a rugged mine road that claws its way to a staggering 5.590m (18,339ft) above sea level, making it one of South America's highest drives! Picture this: you're near the town of General Lagos, inching your way up this totally unpaved path in your trusty 4x4 (essential, trust me). This is the Andes at their finest! Built in 2009 to access a sulfur mine, the road is an 18.6 km (11.55 miles) rollercoaster from Chislluma, packed with hairpin turns and jaw-dropping drop-offs. You'll climb a hefty 1306 meters, so get ready for some serious gradients – averaging around 7.02%. Keep an eye out for the fumaroles puffing away near the summit and the hot springs bubbling on the eastern side! The views are insane!
extremeVolcan Ticsani
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, buckle up for Ticsani Volcano in Peru! We're talking seriously high altitude here – almost 16,000 feet! You'll find this bad boy nestled in the Moquegua Region, specifically in the Mariscal Nieto Province, between Cuchumbaya and San Cristóbal. Now, the road to the top (also called Tixani) is a gravel beast, and it's STEEP. Think challenging. Seriously, don't even think about it if the weather looks sketchy. This climb isn’t for the faint of heart. The air gets thin, making every step and every turn a test of endurance. Remember, altitude sickness can kick in around 8,000-9,000 feet, and up near the peak, oxygen is a luxury! But hey, the views along the way? Absolutely mind-blowing. Just be prepared for an epic adventure!
moderateAbra de Toroya, a winding road only for experienced drivers
🇵🇪 Peru
Alright, adventure junkies, buckle up for Abra de Toroya! This high-altitude pass in the Puno region of southeastern Peru tops out at a breathtaking 4,750 meters (that's 15,583 feet for you imperial system folks). The road, mostly paved and known as Carretera 34C, stretches for about 73 kilometers (45ish miles) between Santa Lucía and Eslagunero. The scenery on the way up? Get ready for views of Volcan Misti and Nevado Chachani from the summit. The descent is a gradual cruise, although the landscape can be a bit…underwhelming, let's say. But hey, you're in the Andes! Embrace the stark beauty!
extremeAbra Ojelaca is a paved road heading deep into the high mountains
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Abra Ojelaca is calling your name. This high-altitude Andean pass in southern Peru’s Moquegua Region is an absolute beast, topping out at a whopping 4,606 meters (that's 15,111 feet!). You’ll be cruising up the Interoceanica Sur, a paved but seriously steep road. I'm talking lung-busting inclines. Pro Tip: If you’ve got any respiratory or heart issues, maybe sit this one out. The air gets thin—really thin. Most people start feeling the effects of altitude sickness way before you reach the top, and at this elevation, your engine isn’t the only thing struggling for oxygen! Seriously, altitude sickness is no joke and can hit anyone. At the summit, you're dealing with about 40% less oxygen than you’re used to, so breathing feels like a workout. Your heart's gonna be pounding, and even walking feels like you're wading through molasses. Combine that with the unpredictable weather and you’ve got a challenging, but incredibly rewarding, drive. The views? Totally worth the huffing and puffing, trust me!
