Description
This warning is only valid during heavy rain or that it has rained very heavy e.g. the night before. If you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle, please take a D-tour. The chances that you will slip and get stuck are very high. There are other vehicles once in a while that might be able to help. However, the chances that you get stuck again are high and help is not guaranteed + there is no cell reception.
We are driving a 4x4 motorhome, we got stuck once and needed help. The rest of the road was slow and we slipped alot. Overall delay of 2.5 hours on 121km. Take care!
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
we took the route in our truck camper a few days after some rain. we asked in town whether it's passable and got opposite opinions. It seems that if it hasn't rained for 3-4 days the route is dry enough to drive on. We stayed in RWD and never needed to engage the 4x4 but there were definitely some sketchy sections.
Report Check-InWe passed yesterday night with a light 2WD mobile home (rear traction) from Pellegrini to Galarza. It was absolutely dry. Most of the road was quite ok. However there are several quite deep sand passages (30 cm+). The worst was after RT 41 splits from RT 40 One small driving mistake to get stuck. I don't think we would have passed with front traction only or with a little bit of humidity.
Report Check-InWe decided to go have a look with the understanding the road could be bad and we would turn around. Thought it would be useful to know it’s still quite bad along here. A local stopped us and said it’s quite deep in parts and gets worse from around this pin. Probably dry season ok, but I think it would still be bad even if it hasn’t rained for a couple of days.
Report Check-InIt did not rain since several days. past without a 4x4 (a Peaugeot Boxer) but they were several difficult parts on the road (presence of ruts).... and no signal. We met a moto that could not pass because at some point you need to carrefully stay only on the highest point of the ruts..
