The setting for Red Spokes’ latest tour is the Patagonian Lake District, one of the most magnificent landscapes in the world. This spectacular area spans 300km from north to south and overlaps the dramatic Andean Mountains that form the border between Chile and Argentina.
The ever-changing scenery has been shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity. Today smouldering volcanoes still dominate the skyline alongside snow-capped mountains and towering granite peaks. The lower slopes of the Andes are blanketed with ancient rainforest and lush vegetation. Whereas the deep valleys are filled with icy fjords, emerald lakes and tumbling waterfalls. It is a landscape of outstanding natural beauty.
Our tour takes in the highlights of this majestic area and what better vantage point than the saddle of a bicycle?
Encompassing some of the most awe-inspiring panoramas in South America, this cycle ride of contrasts will leave a lasting impression.
