SA’s Route 62 makes most-instagrammed road trips list

England’s Snake Pass was the lowest tagged road trip with just 12,343 hashtags.


Click4Reg has compiled a list of the most-instagrammed road trips in the world and our very own Route 62 has made the list. The research was done by collecting 15 of the best-known roads and journeys around the world, and judged the most instagrammed by analysing the number of hashtags for each road trip with #name and #name + road trip.
