Discover a beautiful and fertile land at the northern gateway to Patagonia - a magical landscape filled with active volcanoes, turquoise rivers, gigantic lakes and ancient native forests.
See Andean condors swooping down from the foothills of the cordillera as we cycle on some of the most scenic paved routes that South America has to offer.
We'll gain a cultural insight into both Chile and Argentina, including the European influences and indigenous customs that have shaped the region.
Cross the Andes twice in spectacular fashion on two wheels as part of an incredible 'once in a lifetime' journey!
