Motorcycle Tour in Patagonia

In the heart of Patagonia, San Carlos de Bariloche is our base camp for this new Andean adventure. Situated in the south-western part of the Rio Negro province, on the shores of the imposing Lake Nahuel Huapi, the town with its Swiss Alpine atmosphere is a haven of peace in the middle of nature. The glacial waters of the lake are great 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. A day full of beautiful tarmac bends between primary forests and Andean lakes to get to grips with our bikes. The friendly little town of San Martin de los Andes welcomes us for the night on this beautiful first stage. Night in a comfortable hotel.
