ruta 81
The ruta 81 in Argentina, parallel of the paraguayan border, is a good alternative to the trans chaco road, and certainly less boring since you still have to fight against elements on a 100 km section (border between the states of Salta and Formosa). I advise to stop overnight at Los Blancos, in the middle of the gravel section, there is a hotel there that wont ruin you (20 pesos overnight with drink and dinner) and you can buy gasoline.
Interesting vegetation on the way, semi arid, it looks like Africa and aborigenes look like indians (from India). Once in Formosa, you could contact Pete there who takes care of a local motorcycle club (bastardos de formosa), he will most likely take care of you and your bike...
Have fun
