Ruta 40 Driving Tour - Scenic Drive through Patagonia in 4K - Bariloche to El Bolson (LoFi Music)

Drive along with us over the famous Ruta 40 in Argentine Patagonia.

I took the 24-hour bus (Marga Taqsa) all the way from Bariloche to El Chalten. This particular part of the trip is a 1,5 hour driving tour along the beautiful landscapes of Patagonia, near Bariloche and the Lake District, ending in the town El Bolson. We've added relaxing Lofi music as a nice background tune.

Ruta 40 (or RN 40) is one of the longest highways in the world. Travelling along the Ruta 40 is internationally renowned as a classic road trip. Beginning at the Bolivian border, it runs parallel to the Andes all the way to Rio Gallegos. This video focusses on the Patagonia stretch, at the heart of the route, between Bariloche and El Calafate.

Bariloche is the gateway to an extraordinarily diverse variety of landscapes from the jagged peaks of the high mountains, the open plains of the Patagonian steppe, the winding rivers filled with trout and different varieties of lush forest. There are high mountain refugios, historic estancias and lakeside luxury spa hotels.

The town itself is big and sprawling, it doesn't really sit on a beach and will get choca-block with tourists in the summer months. From the city centre, stretching out for more than 25kms along the lake shore, is a road which has pockets of hotels, lovely restaurants, beaches and stunning views out to the lake.

Sitting under the imposing face of the Piltriquitron Mountain, El Bolson is a bustling little town, made famous in the 70s by people from Buenos Aires moving here to live a more alternative lifestyle.

During the summer months, it is still very popular with swarthes of Argentinian backpackers coming to enjoy the lifestyle, hiking trails and local micro-breweries. There are plenty of trails to explore and a collection of moutain refugios to be visited self-guided.
