Estación de Servicio Shell Río Gallegos Ruta Nacional 3

This Shell station sits at the critical junction where Ruta Nacional 3 meets the access roads into Tierra del Fuego’s remote eastern peninsula. Clean facilities, reliable diesel, and a convenience store stocked with basic supplies make this the go-to fuel stop for overlanders heading to Peninsula Mitre or the Estancia Moat circuit. The pumps stay busy with long-haul truckers and tourists, but service is efficient even during peak hours.

Open 24/7 with covered pump islands that provide welcome wind protection during Patagonia’s notorious gales. Stock up on water, snacks, and emergency supplies here — the next services are sparse once you commit to the eastern peninsula routes.
