National Route 40 (Argentina)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruta nacional 40 is a road in western Argentina, stretching from the border with Bolivia in the north, to Río Gallegos in the south. Although it is notorious for being largely unpaved, the government has pledged to put it under tarmac by 2007, a task they are mostly on track to complete on schedule.

There are a number of internationally important sites along this route, such as Cueva de las Manos, which contains cave art dating back some 13,000 years, and Los Glaciares National Park, the second largest National Parks of Argentina.
