hi guys i was talking to a traveller here in ushuaia and he seemd to think part of ruta 40 was closed somewhere north of torres del paine and south of bariloche,but i cant find anything in english on the net and just wondering if anyone has any info available

Hi canoeguy, I couldn't find any spanish articles either from any argentinian paper? exept for this one Río Negro: Cierran la ruta 40 entre Bariloche y El Bolsón | DERF Agencia Federal de Noticias
But, it refers to a clousure of Ruta 40 back in May this year and it was further north near Bariloche anyway?

Hi CanoeGuy, I have heard or read nothing either.

What is your schedule by the way, are you heading north?

We met at Mitta Mitta this year and I am currently in Mexico and heading south. It will take me a few months to get down there but :)

Cheers

It's possible that he meant the bit between Tapi Aike and El Cerrito which is closed in winter. The Footprint guide calls it 'rough' but it's easy dirt, although I found it had deteriorated between '04 and '08. The asfalto alternative is via La Esperanza on local rutas 7 & 5.

Ahh OK, no worries then, I will try and attend the next meeting, whenever that is, I will be arriving back February, just in time for the Rumble to the Barossa and then the Ulysses AGM in Albany, the 'long way home "
