Carretera Austral
Hey Gato...
I cant ride with you, as i just returned from Ushuaia and I am relaxing in Buenos Aires. I do want to encourage you to ride the Carretera Austral Ruta 7 south of Puerto Mont.
Its a beautiful and awesome dirt/gravel road. Crossing over into Argentina again at Chile Chico by going the long way around the big lake there is the best way for sure. Stunning is the only way to describe this ride. You would logically go on eastward to Perito Moreno to catch Ruta 40 and head south to El Calafate and see the Perito Moreno Glacier.
For some more adventure on your way east to Ruta 40, you could take the more remote Ruta 41 to Cara Baracoles. This is just before you enter the Argentine town on the border. Someone around there should be able to tell you. This was really fascinating back way to Ruta 40. Bring extra fuel in these areas of Argentina.
Good luck! Hope you weather holds out.
