Located at the top of the Andean mountains, the road is gravel. It’s 10.9km long from San Francisco de Mosca (Huanuco region) to Antapirca (Pasco Region). After rain, even a single rainfall, conditions of the road can be challenging. Expect a trail pretty steep with 23 hairpin turns. Its highest elevation is at 3.570m (11,712ft) above the sea level. This is definitely not a Sunday drive. Drive with care as this is a mountain road with dangerous dropoffs. Very narrow.
