National Route 3

National Route 3 extends for 3,045 kilometers from Buenos Aires to Tierra del Fuego, crossing five provinces through diverse geographical landscapes and coastal regions.

The construction of National Route 3 began in the early twentieth century as part of Argentina's infrastructure development plan to connect distant provinces and facilitate trade.

The highway links numerous communities across Argentina's provinces, enabling travelers to experience regional foods, traditional crafts, and local festivals throughout their journey.

Travelers must use ferry services to cross the Magellan Strait between Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego provinces, with crossings taking approximately twenty minutes.

The route reaches altitudes of 5,000 meters in its northern sections and includes segments near archaeological sites, nature preserves, and traditional sheep ranches.
