Estación de Servicio YPF Esquel Ruta Nacional 40
This YPF station sits at the junction of RN40 and RN259, serving as the final fuel and resupply point before the long stretch through Patagonian wilderness. Full-service pumps with diesel, nafta súper, and nafta premium, plus a well-stocked shop with basic overlanding supplies, tire repair kits, and road food. The station sees heavy traffic from southbound overlanders and locals heading to the lakes district.
Open 24 hours during summer months, reduced hours in winter. The attached convenience store stocks propane canisters, motor oil, and basic camping gear. Cash and cards accepted, though having pesos on hand is wise for smaller purchases.
