A stunning cycle journey through the awe-inspiring scenery of the Lake District and Patagonia
The pristine beauty of Chile and Argentina is truly something to behold and can never fail to amaze. Our itinerary explores by bike the best areas that these two countries have to offer - a trip for the true cycling connoisseur. The constant presence of snow-capped volcanoes reflected in the clear, calm waters of the Chilean and Argentinean lakes provides a serene setting for our route. Argentina treats us to the ever-changing landscapes of Patagonia; barren pampas, Monkey Puzzle forests and vast valleys. This is a land of immense diversity, and as such we admire the views from the Cordoba Pass, which allow us to feel as if we can reach out and touch the Cordillera of the Andes. The adventure capitals of Bariloche and Pucon allow opportunities for white water rafting, horse riding, trekking or the memorable climb to the summit of the Villarica Volcano.
