La Rioja off Road
Get on a 4x4 vehicle and explore territories that go beyond roads.
Would you like to pump up your adrenaline in the mountains? Set off in a 4x4-vehicle journey and go through Corredor del Bermejo. Where there is no pavement, explore wild soil, and embark on adventures on circulated and deserted trails. Follow extreme adventurers’ and pilots’ tracks leaving traces in sport tournaments, such as Rally Dakar, and groups, such as Club Ranger 4x4.
Explore the outskirts of the symbolic Route 40 and discover Famatina, Chilecito, Vinchina, and Pagancillo. Be driven by the engine power taking you on rocks and sand, on snow and slab, on soil and water splashing as the wheels spin. On your way, go to viewpoints, enjoy regional food, and find gold panners, who will teach you their millenary techniques. Enjoy this experience in the north region.
