Description

This is the start or end of the rough section knows as Maldite 73… This section is notorious for accidents mostly with motorcyclists as it is a bad gravel section with no plans for improvements on an otherwise paved road. For us, it is good to know the exact start and end position so we can adjust suspension and tire pressures.

Not going over what the conditions are like as plenty has been written about in the warning "EX Ruta 40" (about 50 north of the town Gobernador Gregores).

Done with charged motorcycle with 2 people.

This part is difficult with many deep gravel. The concrete road is now a bit longer but still 60km in gravel road (and at least 10km really hard)

Gravel ok. Some portion are little rocky but for us is not that bad that everybody tell. Like Carratera austral even better. We did this portion in 2h30 from north to south. Be careful very windy!

in dry conditions this gravel road today was easy going in our 2wd Camper. the gravelroad is well maintained except for a short passage. this is no problem either in dry conditions but might bei tricky when wet.

this 75 km gravel section of 40 is maddening. some parts are smooth and flat and capable of cruising at 70km and then bam, you are airborne and sliding sideways. almost as bad as the Austal. definitely air down here if heading north.
