A few hairpins...
 

Took this pictures two weeks ago from the top of a double-decker bus. This is the road from Santiago, Chile to Mendoza, Argentina. At this point, we've basically crawled up a valley to get over the Andes. Never seen anything like this before.

wow, thats pretty sweet..love to drive that.

Im flying my car over there and going drifting!

the only time ive seen stuff like that - was on a trip out west, in the states - some of the roads over the mountain passes / continental divide out there were like that. so many switchbacks - we were driving a 1978 pace arrow motorhome - so no drifting for us ahhaha

^^pfft i'm sure they have e-brakes.

That would be a nice drive.

can you imagine driving up one of those hills and seeing a motorhome comin around the corner sideways? that'd be quite a picture

Wow, what an interesting view! You got more pics??

Looks like a good road for a stage of a road bike race! Tour de Chile??

A few more pics...

1. heading to the hairpins
2. start of the hairpins
3. after the hairpins
4. Chile / Argentina border

I'd love to take a car through this but the traffic was very slow and with good reason. One mistake and the consequences could be fatal.

This road also climbs to 3400 meters so non-turbos would be a bit short on power.

In the last pic you'll see concrete bunkers protecting the road from rock/snow avalanches. Our bus almost side-swiped a container truck at one point.

nice... looks like ure having fun! Happy bday btw!

I'd drift it.

what if it had the annoying foot park brake. i hate those.

foot park brake takes more skill...still do-able
