Itinerario de Buenos Aires a Cordoba (Spanish Edition)

The road is a limited access motorway from Buenos Aires to Rosario. After the coming of the railroad, in the second half of the 19th Century, this road lost relevance, as the railroad provided faster service on any type of weather. With the advent of the automobile, the Federal Government decided to build roads throughout the Republic. In the road was open to traffic in its full length, even though most of it was unpaved. The road started competing against the railroad, taking passengers and cargo. The last passenger train to La Quiaca arrived on December , and the last cargo train in July The Buenos Aires to Rosario section was paved by 27 December This way they shortened the road distance between the two most populous cities in Argentina.

And personal experiences of Chilean Truck Drivers, being drugged by an old lady he picked up, whom invites him to a Mate Drink. Unfortunately, dollars was robbed. Since these problems are from the last 2 years, local Argentine drivers are scared of picking up people.

Travelling by 2 or more is even harder. But once you get rides, it will be one of your most smoothest rides. And people are very friendly. Don't bother about Gendarmes and checkpoints, I hitched right next to them. Keith Take the The 52 takes you across to the Chilean border and is great hitching as it is a major truck route and they are very helpful as a rule. But I never got stuck anywhere..

Beware of the extreme hot temperatures!!!! License plates issued between and have a black background with a white frame, composed of three white letters and three white numbers with "Argentina" in blue at the top on a white background.

As of , the license plates have slightly different dimensions, a little wider and not as high. Patagonia has a single very crowded road, which is the Ruta Nacional 3 RN3 that goes along the coast. It is your better bet when heading South. Although there are often many kilometers in between villages, it is a well travelled road. There are also some East-West roads, some of them being dirt, some being pavement. It is easy to get a ride on the paved road but dirt roads, however, are much harder because of the lack of vehicles. The Ruta Nacional 40 RN40 goes from San Carlos de Bariloche South is a road that gets frequently closed off because of the bad weather and is reputed to be hellish to hitch on - fewer cars, unpaved sections and some people have said they have gone days without seeing anyone.

Winding, remote mountain roads and bad weather conditions in any season but summer make it less travelled by truckers and therefore is not recommended.

Gas stations are generally your best bet, although roadside hitching is possible. For us father, mother and two kids hitchhiking in the so-called "Linea Sur" was great. Local people do it and expect drivers to pick them up. You don't need to look a London City businessman to catch private cars, tourists, workers, farmers, and truck drivers both from Argentina and Chile. Manso Inferior , from where we walked up to Cochamo, Chile.

There are quite some peajes toll passages. In the South however, these are not so good and you will just be sent away after a while. One word of advice is that although traffic is much heavier in the north, the routes do cross major cities, and hitchhiking is much more dangerous near urban centers. It is advisable, if possible, to get off at the nearest pueblo and take a bus into cities such as Cordoba, Santa Fe, Rosario, etc.

Navigation menu

The same can be said for leaving. In the south there are really no big cities, and the highways all have gas stations, and the people are much more helpful. There's a stark difference between Patagonia and everything that's north of it. My waiting times have been between one second and one complete day. Hitchhiking in Patagonia in autumn was quite terrible, especially when headed south. Once I was going north on the Ruta Nacional 3, rides started to come easier.
