Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
One road runs more than five thousand kilometres up the western edge of the country, from the far south of Santa Cruz to the Bolivian border, and most of the drives worth doing are either on it or hang off it. That also means the useful question is not which route but how much of it you have time for, because the distances here are on a scale most itineraries are not built for.
Ruta 40 is longer than the drive from Lisbon to Moscow, and the good parts are separated by days of nothing. Driving it end to end is a season, not a holiday. Everyone who enjoys Argentina by road picks a segment.
Pick a segment
The two stretches that reward a few days are the northwest, where the colour changes every hour, and the lake district around Bariloche, where the road is paved and the distances are small. These are where a first road trip should go.
Where to start
Ruta 40 is asphalt for long stretches and gravel for others, with fuel sometimes two hundred kilometres apart in the south. Our routes use a driver and a vehicle sized for the surface, which is why they read as trips rather than car hire.
Driven, not self drive
The Patagonian stretches are at Patagonia road trips, the northwest at Salta road trips, and the same country on two wheels at Argentina motorcycle tours.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how an Argentina package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to the national parks listed in your itinerary; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. Domestic flights between regions are quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount. Argentina is a long country and these flights matter to the total, so we never leave them implied.
Argentina runs four thousand kilometres from north to south, so weather is always local. When a storm holds a boat in Patagonia or rain cuts a road in the northwest, we move that visit inside your itinerary and bring forward whatever works that day. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
