Route 40 overland
adventure trip
The
mythic Route 40 at the far end of the American continent
is undoubtedly one of the most remote, virgin, wild and lonely
place in the world. This route crosses the whole country (Argentina)
from north to south (Rio Gallegos Santa Cruz province)
next to the Andes mountain ridge (cordillera). Its
far south end is the most enchanting. Huge steppes inhabited
by Guanacos and Choiques. This region keeps the most
hidden secretes of the aborigines, pioneers and explorers
that crossed Patagonia near the Andes.
