Argentina
Cycle Argentina’s rainforests, ravines, Andes and salt flats from colonial Salta—an epic adventure of culture, history and stunning scenery.
Argentina offers an incredible diversity of cycling landscapes, from the volcanic lakes and snow-capped peaks of Patagonia to the dramatic ravines, high-altitude deserts and vast salt flats of the Andes. Our cycling tours showcase the very best of this remarkable country, combining spectacular scenery with rich indigenous heritage, colonial history and warm local hospitality.
Our Patagonian Lake District tour explores one of South America’s most beautiful regions, crossing between Chile and Argentina through landscapes shaped by volcanic activity. Riders cycle past emerald lakes, ancient rainforests, towering volcanoes and the famous Seven Lakes Route, visiting iconic destinations including Puerto Varas, Bariloche, San Martin de los Andes and Villarrica National Park.
Further north, our Andes to Salt Flats tour journeys through Argentina’s colourful northwest. From the colonial city of Salta, the route follows sections of legendary Ruta 40, visiting indigenous communities, dramatic sandstone gorges, UNESCO World Heritage landscapes and the breathtaking Salinas Grandes salt flats. Along the way, cyclists experience the spectacular contrasts that make northern Argentina one of the country’s most rewarding regions to explore by bike.

Argentina stretches for more than 3,500km from north to south, creating remarkable contrasts in landscape, climate and culture. In the northwest, the Andes rise above colourful desert valleys, cactus-covered hillsides and immense salt flats, while Patagonia is a very different world of forests, glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains and wide-open landscapes.
The country’s cultural identity is equally varied. Indigenous traditions remain particularly important in the Andean northwest, while Spanish colonial history can be seen in cities such as Salta and the smaller towns scattered through the region. Elsewhere, European influences have helped shape modern Argentina, from its architecture and food to its famous passion for football, music and wine.
Travelling by bike brings you closer to these contrasting landscapes and communities. Quiet mountain roads, remote valleys and small towns provide opportunities to experience rural life along the way, while challenging climbs are rewarded with some exceptional views. Whether cycling beneath the volcanoes of Patagonia or crossing the high Andes of the northwest, Argentina offers an immensely varied and rewarding cycling experience.
