Drove this today on my motorcycle. Road is dry and smooth as of right now. Avg speed of 85-90 kmph. There are sections that would definitely be challenging and/or impassable after rain.

We arrived here heading south midday after a massive storm the day before. Got 1km onto the rough road and one tiny bit off the middle of the road and BAM slipped down into the ditch. We've got aggressive tyres and the mud stuck so good we had four clumps instead of tyres. Three others stuck around us, a 4x4 bus pulled us out but by 5pm after a day of sunshine people were making it through in normal vans. The locals said it can take 2 days to clear up. You'd probably be OK with 4wd as you can boot it and spin up the wheels clearing the clumps. Maybe...

If driving North from El Chalten, the bad gravel road starts not long after Tres Lagos and returns to paved road here.
Another ioverlander post highlights the start as ‘Road sign: Do not pass through by rain’. Some comments state the gravel road lasts for 70km however we found this to be closer to 100km according to maps.me.
