Axion Energy San Rafael
Fuel Station
This modern fuel station serves as the primary resupply point for overlanders heading into the high Andes from Mendoza province. Located on Avenida San Martín in downtown San Rafael, it offers diesel, gasoline, and basic automotive fluids. The attached convenience store stocks propane canisters, motor oil, and trail snacks.
San Rafael sits at the crossroads of multiple mountain approaches, making this a strategic fuel stop before tackling Ruta Provincial 144 toward Laguna del Diamante or the international pass routes. Staff are accustomed to overlanders and can provide local road condition updates.
