Description
The Ruta 40 is a road which runs from La Quiaca on the Northern Argentinean border with Bolivia, 5121 km south to Rio Gallegos close to the Straits of Magellan. The road is mostly dirt and gravel and is renowned for its isolation and the constantly strong winds you encounter as you trek south through some of the least inhabited regions of South America. The Ruta 40 is often called the backbone of Argentina because it connects so many small towns and villages. It crosses 18 important rivers, 20 National Parks and Natural Reserves and passes through 11 provinces on its long journey south to Rio Gallegos.This is the authors account of his journey to ride every km of the Ruta 40 in 2009.
