Hello norschweger.
maybe now i can help a little
we drove the routa 40/carretera austral down and the routa 3 at the coast up. I prefered routa 40 as it is more scenic and has more variations once in a while
The coast was very very windy and too often too monotonous.
But if you go to the coast, go off the nationalroute 3 and make the ruta costanera between comodoro rivadavia and puerto madryn. It is a good gravelroad with a nice coastal part where you even could pitch your tent with now one around you.
And the big plus is that there is a penguin-colonie less famous and less crowded than that at punta tombo. Its near camarones and the penguins nest their until march.
further down you will pass puerto deseado which was really nothing special. As it is a little off the main road a in my opinion just not worth the extra fuel
Another trip I definitely can recommend is the bordercrossing with chile. It is the last border driving from north to south. Its called Paso roballos and the scenery is stunning!! One of our best rides so far!
