Riding a motorcycle through Salta and along Route 40 is a truly unmatched adventure. This iconic highway—among the longest in the world at over 5,000 km—guides you through some of Argentina’s most awe-inspiring scenery. Beginning in Salta, the route meanders through the majestic Andes, the striking red rock formations of Quebrada de las Flechas, and expansive high-altitude deserts where llamas and wild vicuñas roam free.

The off-road segments of Route 40 deliver adrenaline-pumping challenges, from twisting dirt tracks and river fords to dramatic climbs like the Abra del Acay, the route’s highest mountain pass at more than 4,900 meters.
