Year-round
Okay, folks, buckle up for Abra de Porcuya! This high-altitude mountain pass, sitting pretty at 2,137 meters (that's 7,011 feet for my American friends), is nestled in the Huancabamba province of Peru.
You'll be cruising along Carretera 3N, also known as the Fernando Belaúnde Terry Highway, and yes, it's paved. But don't let that fool you, this road is STEEP. Seriously, maybe skip the extra helping of that delicious Peruvian food before you head out. The winding roads and high elevation might have your stomach doing somersaults. And a word to the wise: check the weather before you go – you don't want to be caught up here in a storm! But hey, the views are totally worth it.

hardWhere is Pichachén Pass?
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along the Chile-Argentina border, high in the Andes, at a cool 6,768 feet above sea level. This is Paso Internacional Pichachén, and it's a wild ride! We're talking about a 111-mile stretch of pure, unadulterated dirt road connecting the Biobío Region in Chile with Argentina's Neuquén Province. Known locally as Cajon del Pichachen or Boquete de Antuco, this route (Ruta CH-5 in Chile and Ruta Provincial 6 in Argentina) is seriously twisty and will put your driving skills to the test. Keep in mind, this isn't a year-round joyride. Mother Nature often shuts it down in the winter due to, well, pretty much zero maintenance. Expect crazy temperature changes too – scorching sun during the day, but bundle up for freezing nights. But hey, with views like these, who's complaining?
extremeWhere is Abra Paves?
🇦🇷 Argentina
Alright, adventure seekers, listen up! I've got a wild ride for you in the Jujuy province of Argentina, south of Cuesta del Lipán–Abra Potrerillos, deep in the northern part of the country. We're talking about Abra Paves, and let me tell you, it's not for the faint of heart. Forget smooth tarmac – this baby is all unpaved, with rocks aplenty. It's not so much the steepness that'll get you (though it can hit 10%), but the sheer altitude, the crazy climate, and the middle-of-nowhere isolation. We're talking extreme oxygen deprivation here. Seriously, you need to take it slow and give your body time to adjust. The weather can change on a dime in this semi-arid Puna region, and the winds? They're strong enough to throw your vehicle around! And get this: it's remote. Like, really remote. No cell service, no emergency services. If your ride breaks down, you're on your own. That's why a 4x4 isn't just recommended; it's essential for survival. So, how long is this epic journey? From the paved Ruta Provincial 52, it's about 13.57 km (8.43 mi) uphill, climbing . The average gradient is around 10%. But trust me, the views are worth it. Just be prepared for a challenge – this road is an adventure in every sense of the word!
hardHow to Drive Across the High Desert of Siloli?
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Okay, picture this: southwest Bolivia, near Chile, way up in the Andes. We're talking serious altitude – almost 15,000 feet! This is the Desierto de Siloli, and getting here is an adventure in itself. Think off-road heaven (or hell, depending on your perspective!), a total South American highlight reel. We're smack-dab in Sud Lípez Province, surrounded by volcanoes, weird wind-carved rock formations, and endless plains. Laguna Colorada and Laguna Verde? Neighbors. Pavement? Forget about it. The "road" is more like a network of tracks cutting through sand, dodging volcanic ridges, and snaking around crazy rock formations. You'll absolutely need a high-clearance 4x4 to handle the soft ground, the bumps, and that pesky altitude. Also, pro-tip: zero services out here, so pack accordingly. Most folks jump on a guided 4x4 tour leaving from Uyuni or San Pedro de Atacama. From Uyuni, it's a couple days south, cruising past the Uyuni Salt Flats and those crazy colored lagoons. From San Pedro, it's your first day's adventure after crossing the border. Either way, get ready for wide-open desert, salt flats, and seriously high mountain passes. Highlight reel? The "Stone Tree" (Árbol de Piedra) – a rock formation shaped by wind that looks like, well, a tree made of stone. Volcanoes everywhere, many sporting colorful slopes. Epic desert vistas. Plenty of chances to hop out and scramble around on the rocks for even better views. Heads up: altitude is no joke here. Limited oxygen, scorching sun. Be prepared for altitude sickness, and bring sunscreen! The real danger is the combo of high altitude and isolation. The driving itself isn't super technical, but the lack of services and emergency help means you gotta be prepared. Weather can turn on a dime – think sudden strong winds or freezing temps. A breakdown out here could mean a long wait with no help nearby.
extremeCerro Chajnantor, an awe-inspiring route in the Atacama desert
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in Chile's Atacama Desert awaits Cerro Chajnantor, clocking in at a staggering 18,487 feet. We're talking serious altitude here, making it one of South America's highest roads! Forget smooth asphalt; this is a raw, unpaved challenge best tackled with a 4x4 beast. The landscape is seriously otherworldly, but also seriously dry and unforgiving. The prize? A 20-foot telescope perched at the summit, making it the highest astronomical site on the planet! Built back in '06, this climb isn't for the faint of heart (literally!). If you've got respiratory issues or heart problems, sit this one out. The air is THIN, and the road is STEEP. Seriously, most people start feeling the effects of altitude sickness way before you even get close to the top. Expect your engine to struggle too! The paved road is your starting point for this 8.6-mile ascent. The climb gains a whopping 2,769 feet, averaging a 6% gradient. Brace yourself for an unforgettable ride — and maybe bring some oxygen!
