Anyone know where this is?

Edit: Found it! It's Los Caracoles (The Snails) pass in Chile next to the Argentine border.

lots of serpentine roads like that in South America's Andes, we even have a train that moves back and forth as it sigsags up the mountain

This is so strange. I have almost been there.... on a work trip where i visited the hydro power plant just 50-100 meters down the road. Had no idea that was there...

Just a site visit as part of a larger trip in the country (some knowledge exchange stuff in a hydro power company i used to work for), so we were visiting several parts of the power plants down the Aconcagua valley among other areas. This was the highest point of that particular part of the trip.

Sounds like a nice trip!

Los Caracoles? (west out of Los Andes)

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 34 points 1 month ago

It's Spanish for "The Caracoles".

I took a bus from Mendoza to Santiago that went down this road. Was pretty crazy at the time but still way less sketchy than the buses going through Bolivia.

I was just going to post the same thing. I took the same bus route and man that was scary at some points looking out the window, over the edge.

This confirms, once again, that Chile is the best country of Chile
