Road construction | Warning

May 1st, 2018 by dutchonwheels

The biggest part of this scenic drive is asphalt and 'good' ripio, however... roadconstruction is still going on and we had 1 little part, 500 meters or so, with deep, very deep mud. We saw several cars and trucks who got stucked and some didn't even bother trying. I think we were the only ones who managed, with 4x4, but it was hard and we urgently need a lavadero! Even our rooftent was full of mud! I assume this muddy part is only temporary, otherwise almost nobody could pass. Good luck & enjoy.

Go there!! One of the most fascinating roads on this world. Yes, you have to slow down. It is a big road work (construction site) and high clearance is helpful. But the views and the surrounding flora is awsome.

Not as wet in early July, but still plenty treacherous. Road is still bad, muddy spots. Saw a 2 wd van make it through, but some of the ruts are quite deep and the more clearance the better. We passed through at 2 pm and weren't stopped. Heading west, the worst of the road is through by this point, but still lots of slower going gravel and road works.

Still in construction, mudslide everywhere. Avoid this route, a nightmare. It was so dangerous.

150 km dust but no stops

From approx Epizana to Comarapa this road is rough and very slow. Frequent stops & waits for works and contraflows. Took us over 8 hrs to get from Incallajta to Samaipata. Major works likely to be on-going for a long time, at least well into 2017.

Aviod this road if you do not have plenty of time. They are building a new one and between 1 pm and 4 pm a small section it is closed in both directions. Also, around 150kms of this road is a dirt track, where one cannot drive faster than 35 km/h.
