In the heart of Patagonia, San Carlos de Bariloche is our base camp for this new South America motorcycle tour.

The glacial waters of the lake are perfect for swimming in summer. Overnight in a comfortable hotel.
2/14 • Bariloche - San Martín de los Andes
Our first few kilometres begin on one of Argentina's most legendary roads, the "Route of the 7 Lakes". This is a section of the famous Route 40, which crosses the entire country from north to south, skirting the Andes mountain range.
