BR-471 is a Brazilian federal highway located in the extreme south of the country. It begins in Soledade, passes through the city of Pelotas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelotas, and ends in Chui http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chu%C3%AD, which is the southernmost brazilian city.

It presents quite different road conditions, from completely precarious to excellent conservation state.
