    Hello Marco,
    Its a very good sand track, have small pockets of soft sand or dunnetes more dificult to pass but nothing major. I do not advise to go solo, because the distance for getting some help is very huge, there are a small villages on the way, and off course the train, but if anything needed you are in a very remote location.
    God speed!

    Hello, do you think it is possible to do it with a 4x2 vehicle (and not a 4x4) ?

    Hi Alp,
    It could be possible, but I don't think it's feasible to do this in a 4x2, there are areas with a lot of sand, you'll spend some time stucked, you dont enjoy it. I don't recommend doing it alone either.

You can or this trail
