Argentina Routes
 

Compare #40 vs. crossing on #20 to #26 then #3 down east coast.

Comments.

Thanks, Doug

Rta 3 is all tar. Dull, mostly flat, but if not windy, nice and quick. Rta 40 is subject to lots of roadbuilding lately by the sound of it (I was last there 3 years ago) gravel, dust, slippery when wet (but not boggy, normally!) much better scenery and ultimately much more rewarding. Is gravel softer to fall on than tar when you're blown off a bike?
Are you going south and north or 1 way (jumping off TdFuego?) I'd at least attempt rta 40. If the weather turns on you the distance to the east coast road is not great...
Safe travels,
Simon.

I agree with mossproof.
if you want it fast quick and easy go down Rte 3.
if you want an experience - see Argentina and its coutryside - have the opportunity to stop in small villages along the way - etc - take the Rte 40.
it is a while since we have done it however and we do hear its changing - but it can never be as dull as the Rte 3.

a 'little' side wind, gravel, dust and slipping just adds to the experience!
