Patagonia by Campervan: Our Route
From Europe to South America, there are many ways to go about planning a route.
We generally let visiting friends and the mountains guide our planning. We knew we wanted to make it all the way to Ushuaia and had heard that the lakes region in Patagonia was much more scenic than the Argentinian Atlantic coast. For that reason, we stuck to much of the Ruta 40 southbound through Argentina and then part of the Carretera Austral and part of the Ruta 40 back in Argentina northbound.
See an overview of our 2022-2023 route below. Zoom in on the map to get to the finer details.
