Pueblofuerte i am quite found of you as i find your posts very educated but i will have to disagree. Buenos Aires to Cordoba, or Mendoza or Mar del Planta, Comodoro Rivadavia, Bariloche are all linked by good roads.

Perhaps you're right. Perhaps I just expected more for a country such as Argentina.
Maybe single carriageways are enough between tertiary cities but I have a hard time believing that and the fact that the terrain is completely flat I just find it odd that they don't capitalise on this advantage.
The typical latinamerican trolls bashing Argentina, some things never change...The only major problem of accesibility in Arg is the expensive flights, a thing that will start to change soon with the arrive of the low cost companies.
The south of Chile is the ephitome of inaccesibility, where the land break down in thousand of fjord islands. Only a blatant troll would call that 'accesible'. Chileans have to cross to Arg to reach the far south of their own country.
And here our dear PuebloFuerte of course cherrypicking. He post a link of a highway near Bogota, the same highways you find near Buenos Aires. That same highway (the 50th) ends quickly and of course it doesn't cover all the way to MedellÃn, whereas BA, Rosario and Cordoba (the three major cities) are connected with dual carriageways. So, in other words: a lie.
And about Ecuador, don't get me wrong: they have done a great job on roads, but the country is ten times smaller than Arg and therefore way easier to cover it all with dual carriageways.
I dont bash Argentina, I bash the prices and the difficulty of travel in Argentina. Trust me I love Argentina, I have nothing but good things to say about Buenos Aires or Mendoza or Cordoba which are all some of my favorite cities in the world. Its just that travel in Argentina is very taxing and expensive
Ecuador has the benefit of being very small, and also being sandwiched between two very exciting countries in Perú and Colombia
Some of you guys are totally missing the point...Complaining about how far and tortuous is a drive from BA to Mendoza...Give me a brake, try driving in the Himalaias, or Peru, Bolivia or any of the countries i listed....gravel roads, sometimes not even a road per say, no hotels, or gas stations, places to eat? forget about it. You guys are comparing oranges to apples.
It really is tortuous, when I arrived to Mendoza I just about collapsed on the bed. Argentina has the second worst intercity travel of any country Ive ever been to, only the US is worse
Perú at least has more affordable planes, making it more accessible
Getting from A to B in Colombia usually involves this, not sure if I would call the following easy access, the engineering challenges however are vast and evident.
