It goes through 11 provinces, gives access to a dozen National Parks and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It climbs from sea level to the mighty Puna Plateau right by the frontier between Argentina and Bolivia. From the deserts of the Patagonian steppe to the Southern Andean Forests and the Yunga jungle in Bolivia and the lava fields in Mendoza province. Ruta 40 highway is amazingly awesome.

Also a drive through northern central New England as the leaves are changing is pretty amazing as well.  I know it’s a bit cliche, but I gotta say, Big Sur in central California is an amazing, scenic drive.

Count in the Eglinton and Hollyford valleys, the Homer Tunnel and the grand view from the Milford end, the spectacular Chasm, and the kilometres of cascading waterfall after a decent Fiordland shower ... absolute stunner.
