Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Tried to drive to Coroico this way. The road is intermittently paved, with unpaved ravines just outside of La Paz (see other posting). There is a reason no one drives this way, despite Google showing it as a highway. At this point, heading towards the junction with Route 3, the hardpack dirt road turns into a muddy, rutted track. It looks like there may have been construction planned for a highway here at one point, but it seems to be abandoned. If it is dry it is easily passable with a 2WD. With rain/snow it is muddy and might get difficult.
There are many ptential wild spots along this route
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Not a problem with 2wd and high clearance after a night of rain. Beautiful views and way better avoiding some potholes and mixes of pavement/dirt than being stuck in La Paz traffic!
Report Check-InWe did the road coming from Coroico to La Paz in a Mitsubishi L300 2WD and had no problems. It was a bit bumpy but a good alternative if you don't want to take the ruta f3 twice. We did not sleep there but there are many potential overnight spots.
Report Check-InNothing wrong with the road, although it's in pretty bad shape.
It is a dirt road with a few meters of asphalt.
There are mounds of earth in the middle of the track, so that only 1 vehicle can pass at a time.
There was a policeman on the road who told us that this route is prohibited, but I can't say, because there was a lot of traffic of cars and even trucks.
The view is beautiful, there are frozen mountains and the road is uphill.
4x4 is not necessary, we did it between 2 kombis without any problems.
However, it is not necessary to take this road, the best route is Ruta 3, parallel to this one and paved.
Nada de errado com a estrada, embora ela esteja em péssimas condições.
É uma estrada de chão com alguns metros de asfalto.
Há montes de terra no meio da pista, de forma que apenas 1 veículo passe por vez.
Havia um policial na estrada que nos disse que essa rota esta proibida a passagem, porém não sei dizer, porque havia bastante trânsito de carros e até caminhão.
O visual é lindissimo, há montanhas congeladas e a estrada é em subida.
Não é necessário 4x4, fizemos entre 2 kombis sem problemas.
No entanto, não é preciso passar por essa estrada, a melhor é a Ruta 3, paralela a essa e asfaltada.
Report Check-Incycled the road today, because i thought it would be the best option out of la paz (teleférico to el alto and then up here), was doable without any problems, there were a few cars and minibusses going... just really steep at the last few hundred meters of altitude, windy and cold (5pm) ... crazy how landscape changes, everthing dry on the la paz side, then thick fog and lots of green plants on the other side
Report Check-InNothing much wrong with this road, either paved in great condition or decent gravel. But… there are a few short sections where the road workers have dumped heaps of dirt to block the road, traffic has flattened for the best part but a LWB low vehicle might struggle. SWB low clearance should be ok.
I think if you are coming from the north it definitely beats the crazy la Paz traffic!
Passable!!! After asking a ton of people to confirm i tried this road to go to Coroico! and made it ... only problem is the hight - 4658msm!
Officially still closed - but people opend the road and using it with cars and trucks! Nice views!
no 4x4 needed!
The road is still much the same. Still need a high clearance 4x4. I did it on a small duel sport motorcycle and it's a great road with lots of little steep short cut challenges if you like that thing or you can follow the road to avoid these. Mud and rut sections are short beautiful scenery and a great alternative to the tarmac F3 to La Cumbre.
Report Check-InVery muddy and difficult road, but we made it all the way from La Paz to the 3 with a Land Rover Defender. Beautiful views. If you have a lo 4WD and seek for adrenaline you will love it! Otherwise, run from it!
Report Check-InIt is still the same but we drove it with our Defender the whole way. We did arranged with all potholes...;–)

There is a reason no one drives this way, despite Google showing it as a highway. At this point, heading towards the junction with Route 3, the hardpack dirt road turns into am extremely muddy, rutted track. It looks like there may have been construction planned for a highway here at one point, but it seems to be abandoned. If it is dry, this might be passable with a high clearance 4WD, but it goes to a very high elevation, and even if it looks dry below, it may not be above. We encountered rain turning to snow, with huge ruts and deep mud. It almost ruined our AWD Subaru Forester, and we had to turn back 5k from Route 3. Best to go another route.
