This is the beginning of a route known as "Desert Route".
A long, stright and flat route.... and this point is located exactly 1000km from Buenos Aires.
There is no desert in the surroundings, it's a desolate region with little vegetation, almost unproductive located in the center of Argentina, but it happens that people know it well because in approx. 200kms there is nothing other than countryside, countryside and more countryside. No gas stations, no restaurants, no towns, nothing of nothing ...
It seems bold, but in two hours and with a good car you can travel without any problem.

I forgot: A few meters behind me, there is a comfortable hotel where you can spend a good night ....
