Year-round
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Deep in the west of Argentina's Mendoza province, practically spitting distance from Chile, lies Cerro San Pedro. This mountain pass climbs to a dizzying 2,199 meters (that's 7,214 feet!).
Fair warning: this isn't a Sunday drive. We're talking extreme 4x4 territory here. Think dusty, bumpy, and definitely not for the faint of heart (or weak of stomach!). If you're prone to vertigo or have a thing about landslides, maybe sit this one out. Seriously.
The gravel road is often loose, especially near the edges, and littered with stones and big rocks in the middle. Oh, and did I mention the drop-offs of hundreds of meters with absolutely no guardrails? The final climb is a killer, with sections hitting a crazy 35% grade. Locals call it the "Climb to Hell" for a reason! But if you're prepared for the remote location, elevation changes, and challenging terrain, the views are supposed to be absolutely breathtaking.

hardHow long is the Trans-Amazonian Highway?
🇧🇷 Brazil
Ever dreamed of a truly epic road trip? Then you NEED to know about the Transamazônica Highway (BR-230) in Brazil! This beast stretches for 4,260 km (that's 2,647 miles!) right across Brazil, from the coast near João Pessoa all the way to the Peruvian border. Forget smooth sailing though. Picture this: you're carving your way through the heart of the Amazon, surrounded by dense jungle. You'll encounter everything from freshly paved sections to long stretches of dirt road that’ll rattle your bones. While originally dreamt up as a fully paved paradise back in the 70s, reality hit hard. Construction was a logistical nightmare. Now, large portions are still unpaved, particularly the last 1,000 km or so. During the rainy season (October to March), this section becomes a serious challenge, with mud, massive potholes, and ruts galore that will test your vehicle's suspension (and your patience!). But hey, it's not all rough and tumble! Imagine the bragging rights. Plus, you'll be cruising through some of the most remote and breathtaking scenery on Earth. Just be prepared for a real adventure and make sure your vehicle is up to the task!
extremeThe road with 65 hairpin turns to Christ the Redeemer of the Andes
🇨🇱 Chile
Okay, adventure junkies, buckle up for the ride of your life! We're heading to Cristo Redentor de los Andes, a colossal 4-ton statue perched way up at 3,832m (that's 12,572ft!) straddling the border between Argentina and Chile. This used to be the OG route linking the two countries through La Cumbre Pass, before some tunnel came along and stole its thunder in 1980. Think of it as connecting Mendoza, Argentina, with ValparaÃso, Chile. Now, the road itself? Epic. We’re talking about the scenic Paso Internacional de los Libertadores. Heads up, though – it's only open in the summer. Winter brings crazy snow and bone-chilling temps down to -30°C. Even in summer, it can randomly close because of snow or rockfalls. This unpaved stretch of road connects Las Cuevas (Argentina) and Parada Caracoles (Chile), clocking in at 17.1km (or 10.62 miles). Don't let the distance fool you—it's a wild one! Get ready for 65 hairpin turns and some seriously steep sections, with gradients hitting 15% in places! Budget about 50 minutes to conquer it, assuming you don't stop to soak in the insane views. It’s a challenging drive, no doubt. We’re talking curves, steep climbs, hairpin nightmares, and dramatic drop-offs, sometimes with zero guardrails! Despite all that, it's become a popular tourist route, all for that incredible statue. And about the statue: the bronze Cristo Redentor de los Andes was erected back in 1904 to celebrate Argentina and Chile calling a truce on a border dispute. It's one of the highest monuments on the planet, and a symbol of peace.
hardHow to Drive the Unpaved Road to Cerro Peña Orko Between Bolivia and Argentina?
🇦🇷 Argentina
Alright, thrill-seekers, buckle up for the ride of a lifetime! Cerro Peña Orko, perched way up at 14,550 feet, straddles the border between wild Bolivia and stunning Argentina. This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks. We're talking a completely unpaved, 12-mile stretch of pure, unadulterated adventure. Seriously, a 4x4 isn't just recommended – it's practically mandatory. Expect hairpin turns galore, seriously steep climbs, and sections so narrow you might find yourself backing up to make the bend! Starting near Abra de Santa Cruz in Argentina and winding north to Ruta Nacional 28 near Huayllajara in Bolivia, this pass is a visual feast, even if you’re gripping the steering wheel for dear life. Just remember to keep your eyes on the road…if you dare!
extremeThe paved road from Balzas to Celendin in northern Peru is not an easy drive
🇵🇪 Peru
Located in the region of Cajamarca, in the northern part of Peru, the road from Balzas to CelendÃn tests the skill, and courage, of any driver. Hair raising stuff. There is absolutely no room for mistakes. The road, part of the 8B Road, was recently paved. The surface of the road is in really good condition. It’s 56.2 km (35 miles) long and features more than 200 curves, with 34 hairpin turns. It’s definitely not for anyone suffering from vertigo or a fear of landslides. At times the road is so narrow, with a 1000m drop off on one side and a sheer cliff rising the other, that at the corners the back wheel will be half off the edge. The road is very steep. It starts at Balzas, in the province of Chachapoyas, at an elevation of 854m above sea level and ends at CelendÃn, capital of the province CelendÃn, at 2.643m above sea level. It’s incredibly disorienting to look over the edge, or even just to see the valleys a couple thousand feet below you. The elevation gain of the road is 1.789m and the average gradient is 3,19 %, with some sections up to 7%. There are sheer drops virtually along the entire route and enough hairpins to make a whirling dervish dizzy. Road suggested by: Hugh Wilson Embark on a journey like never before!
