Provincial Route 23 (Spanish: Ruta Provincial 23), also known as RP23, is a highway that originates in National Route 40 in southwest Santa Cruz Province in Argentina.[1] It has a length of 124 km (77 mi) of which 87 km (54 mi) is paved and 37 km (23 mi) is unpaved. RP23 starts at RN40 to the southeast and ends at Del Desierto Lake in the northwest.

RP23 borders the north shore of Viedma Lake, this being the only access by land to the town of El Chaltén. To access Del Desierto Lake, the route enters Los Glaciares National Park bordering Río de las Vueltas.[2]
