Year-round
Alright, adventure junkies, listen up! Abra del Gallo in Salta Province, Argentina, is calling your name! This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks. We're talking about a high-altitude experience, topping out at a whopping 4,630m (15,190ft) above sea level – one of the highest roads you'll find in Argentina.
Get ready to ditch the pavement because Ruta Provincial 129 (RP129) is all about that raw, unpaved life. Think ripio, gravel, and maybe a little sand to keep things interesting. Don't worry, though, while it climbs, the surface is usually pretty decent.
This epic stretch of road runs for 98km (61 miles) from the Salar de Pocitos to Chorrillos, carving its way through the rugged northwest of the country. And the views? Let's just say Nevado Queva to the west will blow your mind. Seriously, pack your camera!

hardThe Winding Road from Tupiza to Quiriza is for Experienced Drivers Only
🇧🇴 Bolivia
Hey adventure junkies! Get ready for an epic Bolivian off-road experience from Tupiza to Quiriza, deep in the Potosí Department near the Argentinian border. Forget pavement – this is pure, unadulterated dirt, sand, and rock! This isn't a Sunday drive, folks. You'll need a trusty 4x4 to conquer this beast and even ford a river! The entire route sits above 3,100m, climbing to a lung-busting 4,236m (13,897 ft) at its peak. Starting in Tupiza (3,160m), a gorgeous, remote town that feels like the edge of the world, you'll traverse 63.9 km (39.70 miles) of corrugated road heading north to the mining town of Quiriza (3,598m). Prepare for a wild ride through some truly stunning, untouched landscapes. Trust me, the views are worth the bumps!
hardWhere are Curvas de Huanchaca?
🇵🇪 Peru
Okay, thrill-seekers and road trip warriors, listen up! I just conquered one of the most insane, hair-raising drives in Peru: Curvas de Huanchaca! Nestled high in the Andes, about 40km west of Cusco, on the border of the Cusco and Apurimac regions, this stretch of Route 3SF isn't for the faint of heart. We're talking 24 hairpin turns carved right into the mountainside! The road itself? Mostly one car wide, but freshly paved so any vehicle can handle it. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! This baby climbs from 2,142m to 2,901m in just 12.5km after crossing the Puente Huallpachaca, with sections hitting a crazy 17% gradient. That’s a gain of 759 meters! The views are absolutely breathtaking, I'm talking jaw-dropping, vertigo-inducing vistas of the Urubamba Valley. But don't get too distracted, because there are no safety fences and some serious drop-offs. Keep your eyes on the road! Seriously. Trust me, this drive is an adrenaline rush from start to finish. Just make sure to tackle it during the day, and maybe say a little prayer before you hit those switchbacks!
extremeDriving the extreme 4x4 mining road to Lastarria Volcano in the Andes
🇨🇱 Chile
Volcán Lastarria, or Azufre, straddles the Chile-Argentina border, flaunting incredible sulfur deposits and towering fumaroles. But the real thrill? A gnarly mining road claws its way up the Chilean side to a staggering 5,324m (17,467ft)! This isn't just high; it's one of the highest drives you can find. José Victorino Lastarria, a big name in Chilean history, gets the credit for the name, thanks to his explorations of the Atacama Desert. Think of him as your intellectual trail guide! Forget civilization; we're talking 150 km from anywhere. The landscape is otherworldly, raw, and unforgiving. This road is unmarked and a test of skill, winding past abandoned sulfur mines on a surface of volcanic ash, obsidian, and deep sand. Satellite imagery is your best friend here – forget standard maps! Expect the unexpected! Winds are brutal, constantly shifting sands and sometimes burying the track. Winter and spring bring penitentes, crazy-tall ice spikes, ready to trap the unwary. A serious 4x4 with high clearance and beefy tires is the bare minimum. But here's the kicker: altitude! At this height, the air is thin (seriously thin!), and your engine will struggle, and you will too. Plus, those awesome fumaroles pump out toxic gases – beautiful to look at, less fun to breathe. Zero. That's the amount of infrastructure or help you'll find. This is hardcore self-sufficiency: oxygen, industrial masks, extra fuel, and a satellite phone. This isn't just a drive; it's an expedition into a landscape that demands respect and preparation.
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.
