Ruta 40 Ripio start | Warning

Your average Patagonian ripio, nothing out of the ordinary. Southern Carretera Austral has worse sections. Deflate your tires and expectations and you will be fine. A little bit of speed goes a long way in smoothing the washboards.

For the moto amigos… the first 15kms headed south have some very lose excessively deep river pebble sections, staying in the car tracks is ok but now and then you end up in deep stuff without too much warning… then it gets better but still rolling around on marbles with the occasional surprise deep patch until 50kms in. Once you cross the last bridge over the Rio grande things get corrugated but with good traction and you can pick up the pace without too many surprises and much better grip.

From north to south the first 35 km till Pasarela are top today. Drove 50 with big rig. Afterwards a mess. Drove 25 !!! Ripio finishes at the Laguna Nueva.

if you are heading south, here begins the 80km of ripio, if you are heading north and reached this point, congratulations, the terror is over. We spent 4h1/2 to pass with a 7m motorhome, 20km/h on average, ripio in very poor condition.

Here starts 80 km of very bad shape ripio, when heading south. We were driving 20km/h in average, with a medium size Motorhome. Good for all types of vehicles, but the road surface is very bumpy and full of stones in some parts.
