AR Ruta 68 from Calayate towards Salta to Alemania the Qubreda de los Chochos was super fun a couple of days ago. Brilliant twisties amongst stunning redrock scenery. Take a relaxing ride through seeing the sites the turn around a buzz straight through all the curves. I had so much fun in a 5km strech that I found myself going back to take pics, but ended up going through twice more.
AR ruta 33 from Cachi to Salta is also special. A spectacular (some ripio some asphalta) pass leads from redrock desert to verdant forest in about 50 km and finishes with 50km more of brilliant tight twisties. Going from Calfayate to Cachi you get a little sand, charming villages, strange sandstone formations, a serious mountain pass and verdant forest in a single day.
AR Ruta de Siete Lagos from San Martin to Bariloche is spectacular. It could take 4.5 hrs ridden through, but I ended up taking the better part of two days.
