Antofagasta de la Sierra, Argentina
 

Has anyone ridden Ruta 43/17 from Belen through Antofagasta de la Sierra, across the road to Paso Sico and on to intersect with the road to Pase de Jama?
I'm looking at the map thinking I'd like to cross Paso San Francisco to Fiambala then Tinogasta-Belen-Antofagasta and on up to Susques before crossing Paso de Jama.

If anyone has any experience of this route I'd appreciate your input.

I'll be in Fiambala in approx 2 weeks (as long as it doesn't snow in the meantime!)

Cheers

I went to Tinogasta on the adobe road hoping to cross directly to Belem, but the mountain road was not advised to me, since some parts fell apart after big rain falls and were never repaired.

As a matter of fact i went back south, and took the main paved road to Belem.

For anyone planning this route:

My husband and I did it on push bikes. We have shared road info and distances on the following links:

Salar de Pocitos-Antofagasta-El Eje(Belen)

Tinogasta - Belen on the cool backroad

Susques - Salar de Pocitos (via Santa Rosa but includes info from Sico Road).
