Route 40 down to El Calafarte in April
Hi, I will be riding from Puerto Montt to El Calafarte in early April (starting April 8th). Can anyone give me some feedback on if this is do-able or not.
The rental company I am using is strongly advising me against it, telling me that I will be in big trouble if I try to take that road so late in the season and it starts to rain. They are even telling me that 4x4 cant drive the clay sections when it rains, and that most places along that road will be closed now. Is that true? It jsut doesn't sound right.
I know that the season ends in March, but it can't be that bad. I feel as if they are trying to scare me into staying I have been riding (including offroad and cold weather) for years and feel I can comfortably handle wet and cold conditions.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
