Bienvenido a Argentina ! This is where your South America motorbike tour.begins. At the foot of the Andes Mountains, Salta will be the starting point for our motorcycle adventure.
Salta - Iruya Étape 2/13 180 miles including 34 miles of off road
Salta - Iruya
First day riding our Royal Enfield Himalayan 450s. We leave Salta on a magnificent winding road heading north. Argentina is already revealing one of its most beautiful sites: the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a multicoloured mountain range listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We end up on a track lost deep in the mountains... Welcome to the end of the world! Welcome to Iruya!
Iruya - Cusi Cusi Étape 3/13 146 miles including 114 miles of off road
Iruya - Cusi Cusi
If we get up at dawn, we may be lucky enough to see condors rising from their nests above the canyon. Today's stage takes us towards the Bolivian border to reach the ‘Valle de la Luna’ (Moon Valley). A regional nature park where, as its name suggests, we explore a lunar landscape at an altitude of 3,800 metres and spend the night in a tiny village forgotten by the world...
Cusi Cusi - Humahuaca Étape 4/13 148 miles including 96 miles of off road
Cusi Cusi - Humahuaca
From Cusi Cusi, we take Route 40 for a few dozen kilometres of track. We organise a magnificent picnic at an altitude of 4,200 metres with a view of a secret lagoon... Then we spend the night in the charming village of Humahuaca with its cobbled streets and colonial houses.
Humahuaca - Purmamarca Étape 5/13 73 miles including 30 miles of off road
Humahuaca - Purmamarca
We set off for the Mirador del Hornocal and after an hour's drive along a dirt track, we arrive at the viewpoint at an altitude of 4,350 metres, which offers us a breathtaking view! Known by the locals as the ‘mountain of 14 colours’, we have a front-row seat for this panorama where the sun plays with the colours.
Purmamarca - Santonio De Los Cobres Étape 6/13 162 miles including 79 miles of off road
Purmamarca - Santonio De Los Cobres
There are few places on earth where you can experience this sensation of driving on water: the famous salt desert offers a unique privilege and an unrivalled feeling of freedom. Emotions run high as we cross a vast desert plateau at an altitude of over 4,000 metres. An afternoon on Route 40 for a 120 km drive!
San Antonio De Los Cobres - Cachi Étape 7/13 90 miles including 76 miles of off road
San Antonio De Los Cobres - Cachi
A magnificent day of endless twists and turns! We descend from an altitude of 4,000 metres to 1,000 metres down the Quebrada del Toro, then climb back up to 3,700 metres in a few hours via the Cuesta del Obispo... The majestic mountains and paved roads are even more impressive today!
Cachi Étape 8/13
Cachi
A day off to discover the charming Andean village of Cachi, picturesque and authentic, overlooking the valley from an altitude of 2,500 metres. It's nice to stroll in the shade of the central square... A visit to the museum offers an immersion into the pre-Inca, Inca and Spanish eras. The local vineyards are also open to visitors. Lunch is at your leisure today.
Cachi - Cafayate Étape 9/13 125 miles including 109 miles of off road
Cachi - Cafayate
Back on the 40! From track to track, we arrive at the hidden Brealito lagoon, located at an altitude of 2,700 metres. A gem of the north-west, a lunar landscape of rock formations sculpted by earthquakes, erosion and time. These rock spires pointing towards the sky open onto an exceptional track, a real treat for us and our motorbikes.
Cafayate - Andalgalá Étape 10/13 143 miles including 72 miles of off road
Cafayate - Andalgalá
We leave Route 40 to head to the ruins of Quilmes, a sacred site covering 30 hectares where you can see the remains of a forgotten civilisation. We pass by the Capillitas mine, where deposits of a pink mineral are found, a semi-precious stone that is the sacred symbol of local artisans. This is followed by 45 km of twists and turns on a wild track that winds through the mountains to reach Andalgala.
Andalgalá - Tafí del valle Étape 11/13 136 miles including 67 miles of off road
Andalgalá - Tafí del valle
A long, beautiful climb up the Chilca trail, along the side of a cliff, offers impressive views of the impenetrable Catamarca desert. After crossing the Aconquija National Park via a few kilometres of winding trails, a completely different landscape opens up before us: we are now in the green mountains of Tafi Del Valle. A day of motorcycling with thousands of hairpin bends!
Tafí del valle - Salta Étape 12/13 196 miles
Tafí del valle - Salta

Primary assistance to reach the nearest medical center is mainly provided by our assistance vehicle, means such as helicopters or ambulances being very rare. Limited telephone networks and a ban on satellite phones can make contacting emergency services difficult. As with any mountain itinerary, the quality of the roads and the difficulty of the route depend on the weather conditions during and before the trip.
