Discover South America on a guided motorcycle tour: the Andes, Route 40, Patagonia, the Atacama Desert, the coffee country of Colombia and the volcanoes of Ecuador, with Vintage Rides, motorcycle tour experts since 2006.
Since 2006, Vintage Rides has been designing motorcycle tours far from the usual tourist routes. In South America, most tours are led by an English-speaking motorcycle guide who opens the way on the most beautiful roads and tracks, while a support vehicle carries your luggage and a mechanic takes care of the bikes. You travel light and focus on the ride.
You ride a Royal Enfield, the Classic 350 or the Himalayan 450 depending on the tour: simple, robust and easy to handle, on paved mountain roads as well as on the gravel of the Andes.
Most departures are guaranteed group departures of up to 12 people: see all dates on our tour departure schedule.
From design to completion, Vintage Rides humanizes travel. Over 15,000 of you have experienced it around the world.
