A superb cycling tour through the Lake District of Argentina in Northern Patagonia. A landscape of snowcapped volcanoes, deep valleys, lakes and monkey puzzle tree forests set against the beautiful Andes.
“We discovered a beautiful and fertile land at the northern gateway to Patagonia – a magical landscape filled with active volcanoes, turquoise rivers, gigantic lakes and ancient native forests. My highlight was seeing Andean condors swooping down from the foothills of the cordillera as we cycled into the step land.”

Accommodation
We sleep in handpicked small hotels, lodges and Estancias where we personally know all the owners. The locations are perfectly located along the trails and offer privat rooms with showers, great views and lots of nature.
Weather
Since Argentina is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are the reverse of those in Europe. Departures are therefore organized between October and March, to take advantage of the longer, warmer days in the summer period.
Luggage transfer
This tour can be done with or without luggage transfer. Also you can choose to have an assistance car and driver with you at all time. That car would carrie your baggage and the driver can prepares lunches and snacks and you could jump in the car if you decide not to bike one day.

Rental bikes can be ready for you at arrival on the first day in Villa de Angostura and we take them back for you at the last day. You can also bring your own bike.
