Find this gem nestled in the Calchaquí Valleys of northwestern Argentina, in Tucumán province. It's basically the VIP entrance to the Cumbres Calchaquíes Provincial Park.
Up top at Infiernillo, you'll find a buzzing scene: a communication tower, a quirky restaurant with llamas (yes, llamas!), a spacious parking lot, and the Mirador El Infiernillo, a viewpoint that’s straight-up postcard material. Pro tip: pack layers! Expect wind, clouds, and maybe a sprinkle of rain.
Now, the road – RP307 – is a wild ride. Mostly paved, but it's seen better days, so watch out for potholes and gravel. Think narrow sections, hairpin turns galore, and enough twists to make you dizzy (in a good way, of course!).
This epic 53.4 km (33-mile) stretch runs north-south, linking Amaicha del Valle (near Tafí del Valle) to the town of Tafí del Valle. Get ready for an unforgettable road trip!

hardThe narrow unpaved road to Iruya in Salta Province
🇦🇷 Argentina
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in northwestern Argentina, nestled in the Salta province, lies Iruya, a charming village perched way up high at 9,153 feet. Getting there? Buckle up, buttercup, because it's not for the faint of heart! The route to Iruya is a wild 29.45-mile ride along unpaved roads RP133 and RP13, straddling Jujuy and Salta provinces. Think breathtaking mountain vistas, remote villages untouched by time, and seriously epic off-road terrain. You'll feel like you've stumbled into Bolivia, with locals rocking long braids, layered skirts, and sombreros adorned with fresh flowers. Starting north of Humahuaca at the paved RN9, prepare for a rollercoaster of a drive. We're talking hairpin turns galore, jaw-dropping drop-offs, super narrow sections, and river crossings that will test your mettle. You'll climb all the way up to Abra del Cóndor, a sky-high mountain pass sitting pretty at 12,933 feet, where you might even spot some vicuñas hanging out. Just before you hit Iruya, you'll be greeted by a stunning gorge, rugged and colorful in shades of red and brown. Heads up: this road is usually dry, but summer storms can turn it into a mud pit. For the best experience, aim to travel between June and October.
moderateDriving the international Chungara-Tambo Quemado Pass
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along the border between Chile and Bolivia, high up in the Andes. We're talking 4,687 meters (that's 15,377 feet!) at the Chungara-Tambo Quemado Pass. This isn't just any border crossing; it's a major route linking La Paz, Bolivia, to Arica, Chile's closest seaport. The entire route is paved, so no need for a hardcore 4x4, but be prepared to share the road with plenty of big rigs. You'll be driving on Ruta Nacional 4 in Bolivia, which magically transforms into Carretera Internacional CH 11 once you cross into Chile. This high-altitude pass, nestled in the Cordillera Occidental, is generally open year-round, so you shouldn't have trouble getting through. The journey spans 157 kilometers (97.5 miles), stretching from Curahuara de Carangas in Bolivia to Putre in Chile. The scenery is absolutely stunning!
hardA memorable road trip to Refugio Chiles
🇪🇨 Ecuador
Okay, adventurers, listen up! Deep in the Carchi province of Ecuador, nestled high in the Cordillera Occidental de los Andes, you'll find the abandoned Refugio Chiles (Ángel Cerón) at a whopping 4,142m (13,589ft) altitude. Getting there is an adventure in itself! Forget smooth asphalt; this is a bumpy, unpaved gravel road, carved and shaped by rain. Expect dust clouds in dry weather and mud baths when it's wet. A 4WD with high clearance is a MUST. Seriously, make sure your rig is in tip-top shape, because the altitude will definitely make it work for its supper. Oh, and keep an eye out for the tall antenna up there. This remote road hugs the southern slopes of the Chiles volcano, right on the border of Colombia and Ecuador, so fuel up before you go. Weather can be a real factor here—expect fog, rain, cold, and mist. It's exposed and pretty steep, gaining 64 meters over its 628-meter length. That's an average gradient of 10.66%! Before you head out, check with locals about safety in this isolated region. The scenery, if you catch it between the clouds, is absolutely stunning.
extremeThe Wild Road to Cañon Tablachaca
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in northwestern Peru, straddling La Libertad and Ancash, lies the Tablachaca Canyon, a place sculpted by the Tablachaca River over eons. You'll find yourself on the AN-100, a recently paved road snaking through the Andes. Now, don't let the asphalt fool you. This is a *narrow* strip of road, a serious one-lane situation. If you're not comfortable reversing, seriously reconsider. Heavy rain? Flash floods are a real possibility, and washouts can happen. Think long, slow, and narrow. Picture dramatic drop-offs and seriously stunning scenery. This isn't a joyride; this is a *mountain road*. We're talking serious vertical drops on every turn – over 3,000 feet! Keep your speed way down (think 35 km/h). You'll be cruising at over 4,000 feet above sea level the whole time. This route isn't for the faint of heart, or those with limited driving experience, but the views? Totally worth it (if you've got the skills!).
