Chile & Argentina: Cycling the Lake District
Experience Fall in Winter
Trip Highlights
- Experience ideal fall weather and enjoy the colors of autumn without tourists.
- Ride along sparkling lakes and enjoy views of volcanoes and snow-capped Andean peaks.
- Get off the beaten track on gravel and dirt roads for a unique riding experience.
- Enjoy quaint restaurants that tourists never find. Our small group offers a more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
Leave the chill of winter behind and experience fall in South America. We’ll be riding in the Lake District, on the border of Argentina and Chile. Bring your appetite, because we’ll be enjoying fresh salmon, fabulous Chilean red wines, refreshing beers and the hearty meat dishes that the Argentineans are known for.
We’ll begin our tour in Bariloche, the “Aspen of South America” and circumnavigate the Lake District riding across the Southern Andes from Argentina to Chile. We’ll be staying in some of the most scenic villages of the Lake District and will ride through several national parks for spectacular scenery.
Airport Arrival/Departure City: San Carlos de Bariloche/Puerto Montt, Chile
Extension Ideas: Visit Buenos Aires (the “Paris of South America”) and/or Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Santiago and/or Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.
Average Daily Mileage and Terrain
We’ll average 50 miles daily, with 40% on gravel-surfaced roads, using hybrid bikes or mountain bikes with semi-slick tires. Rental bikes are available. As with all of our trips, we’ll offer plenty of options for riding more or less each day.

What Our Guests Are Saying
“Lise and Gary made sure that even a ‘nubie cyclist’ such as myself felt at ease and well cared for throughout the 2-week journey. I was always given options if my desire for cycling wavered. The camaraderie and laughs among the group was a super plus and every care and concern was attended to. I would definitely do a repeat with Adventure Travel Group.” Maria Nasif, Tucson, AZ
