Paraje Paila Leche from El Alamito

The Ruta rises 17km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 498m to 1,540m. The average gradient of 2.9% disguises ramps of 6.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. This is a climb of endurance — the kind of effort measured in hours, where pacing matters more than power. The road reaches 1,540m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Neuquen, Argentina.
