Andean Land Raid

Motorcycle Trip in Argentina

13 stages - 1491 miles
Salta
1/13 • Salta
Bienvenido a Argentina! This is where your South America motorcycle tour begins. At the foot of the Andes mountain range, Salta will be the starting point of our motorcycle adventure.
Salta - Iruya
2/13 • Salta - Iruya
First day riding our Royal Enfield Himalayan 450s. We leave Salta via a magnificent winding road heading North. Already, Argentina reveals one of its most beautiful sites: the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a multicolored mountain range classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The final stretch is on a lost track deep in the mountains… Welcome to the end of the world! Welcome to Iruya!
180 miles including 34 miles off-road
Iruya - Cusi Cusi
3/13 • Iruya - Cusi Cusi
By getting up at dawn, we might have the chance to spot condors rising from their nests above the canyon. Today's stage allows us to ride towards the Bolivian border to reach the "Valle de la Luna". A natural regional park where, as its name suggests, we explore a lunar landscape at an altitude of 12467 feet and spend the night in a tiny village forgotten by the world ...
149 miles including 112 miles off-road
Cusi Cusi - Humahuaca
4/13 • Cusi Cusi - Humahuaca
From Cusi Cusi, we hit Route 40 for a few good tens of miles of track. We organize a magnificent picnic at an altitude of 13780 feet with a view of a secret lagoon… Then we will spend the night in the charming village of Humahuaca with its cobbled streets and colonial houses.
149 miles including 99 miles off-road
Humahuaca - Purmamarca
5/13 • Humahuaca - Purmamarca
We set off for the “mirador del Hornocal” and after an hour on the track, we arrive at the viewpoint at an altitude of 14272 feet which offers us a breathtaking view! Called by the locals the “mountain of 14 colors,” we are in the front row of this panorama where the sun plays with the colors.
75 miles including 37 miles off-road
Purmamarca - Santonio De Los Cobres
6/13 • Purmamarca - Santonio De Los Cobres
Rare are the places on earth where this riding sensation is possible: the famous salt desert offers a unique privilege and an unparalleled feeling of freedom. Emotions follow one another as we cross a vast desert plateau at over 13123 feet. Afternoon on Route 40 for 75 miles of track!
168 miles including 75 miles off-road
San Antonio De Los Cobres - Cachi
7/13 • San Antonio De Los Cobres - Cachi
Magnificent day of endless turns! We go from an altitude of 13123 feet to 3281 feet descending the Quebrada del Toro then climb back up to 12139 feet in a few hours via the Cuesta del Obispo… The majestic mountains and asphalted roads are even more so today!
174 miles including 78 miles off-road
Cachi
8/13 • Cachi
A day of rest where we discover the charming Andean village of Cachi, picturesque and authentic, overlooking the valley thanks to its 8202 feet altitude. It's pleasant to stroll in the shade on the central square... A visit to the museum offers an immersion into pre-Inca, Inca, and Spanish eras. Local vineyards are also open for visits. Lunch is free for everyone today.
Cachi - Cafayate
9/13 • Cachi - Cafayate
Back on Route 40! From track to track, we reach the hidden lagoon of Brealito located at an altitude of 8858 feet. A gem of the Northwest, 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 motorcycles.
124 miles including 99 miles off-road
Cafayate - Andalgalá
10/13 • Cafayate - Andalgalá
We leave Route 40 to visit the ruins of Quilmes, this sacred 30-hectare site where one can observe the remains of a forgotten civilization. We pass by the Capillitas mine, where deposits of a pink mineral, a semi-precious stone that is the sacred symbol of local artisans, are found. This is followed by 28 miles of winding turns on a wild track that snakes up the mountain to reach Andalgala.
143 miles including 68 miles off-road
Andalgalá - Tafí del valle
11/13 • Andalgalá - Tafí del valle
A long and beautiful climb on the Chilca track, clinging to the cliffside, offers us an impressive view of the impenetrable Catamarca desert. Crossing the Aconquija National Park via a few miles of winding tracks, a totally different landscape opens up to us: here we are in the green mountains of Tafi Del Valle. A motorcycle day with a thousand hairpin turns!
137 miles including 68 miles off-road
Tafí del valle - Salta
12/13 • Tafí del valle - Salta
Last day of riding, we resume our route to Cafayate and cross the Quebrada de Las Conchas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, about a hundred miles through an immense canyon formed by the oceans millions of years ago.
193 miles

This raid is reserved for experienced riders. It includes long stages at high altitude (passes > 14764 feet) far from first aid. Primary assistance to reach the nearest medical center is mainly provided by our support vehicle, as means such as helicopters or ambulances are very rare. Limited telephone networks and the prohibition of satellite phones can make contact with emergency services difficult. As with any mountain itinerary, the quality of the roads and the difficulty of the route depend on weather conditions during and before the trip.
