Only about one hour from Mendoza, the views from this ancient unpaved road are simply breathtaking! Since nobody wrote this before: we talking about the RP 52, also called ruta de un año! Ignore what previous people said about it being dangerous, the road is always wide enough for at least two cars! Rent a car, go there, marvel at... More

The road is unpaved once you get past Villavicenzio, but it is wide enough to feel safe and does not need a 4 wheel drive car to do it. There were a few rocks across the at various places which made it look dramatic, but it's no real problem, even for a city boy like me. We got close to... More

Nah! Isn't worth it!!!! Unless you start daydreaming about San Martin and his soldiers doing it 200 years ago The Road isn't paved and very narrow. If looking for a similar scenery the best experience is "The road between Purmamarca to Salinas Grandes in Salta"

This is a great twisty road from Villavicencio (where the main brand of Argentinian bottled water comes from) up to 3100m above sea level with a great view to Aconcagua. Don't be put off if it seems cloudy at the start - you can get up above them and its spectacular. I did it on a motorbike but beware it... More

This was an incredibly beautiful drive. Of course, we had wonderful weather that day. The trip was quite long, but it was worth it. We went on a "tour", so someone else was driving. I think this was a good idea! We saw individual cars turn back after they got a ways into the mountains. The curves really were nerve... More
