Road Conditions and Advisories
Your Drive along Ruta 40
Below you will find all you need to know about road conditions along Argentina’s Ruta 40, throughout its whole length from northern to southern Argentina.
Planning the ultimate South American Road Trip means knowing if there are any unexpected road events that may upset your journey.
Apart from this information, we suggest that you ask, at gas stations, stores and at the hotels that you stay at, how is the road ahead, especially in the more deserted areas of northern Route 40 (during the summer rainy season) or in Patagonia (during winter).
