Magica Ruta 40 - Argentina de Norte a Sur

Rating:
Summary: Good photo and history overview of Ruta 40
Review: If you're looking at this book then you probably already know that this legendary road along the western edge of Argentina runs from nearly the frontier with Bolivia to almost the Straits of Magellan. This book provides some excellent color photos of not only the road itself but some of the scenic locations not far from La 40, including the Patagonian glacier parks. Ruta 40 has already taken on the sort of mystique that many North Americans associated with US route 66. At times it is a nicely paved highway and in places days can go by without seeing a single vehicle. The captions are in both Spanish and English, and Mr Kirbus has been kind enough to answer a question I had about a specific situation in the northwestern part of the country - his email address was shown on the back cover. If you think you might want to take a trip to the places where Ruta 40 runs through the Argentine outback then this is the first book you should get ahold of.
