VIP Patagonia Adventure

This is more than just a ride. It’s a journey to the edge of the world — a 5,920-kilometre, 24-day expedition across the untamed wilderness of Patagonia, designed for those who demand excellence in both adventure and comfort.

From Santiago’s cosmopolitan flair to the icy channels of Tierra del Fuego, this exclusive experience takes you across two nations — Chile and Argentina — along two of South America's most iconic roads: the Carretera Austral and Ruta 40. Expect towering volcanoes, ancient forests, fjords, glaciers, and the southernmost city on Earth — Ushuaia.

Every detail is refined: premium dual-sport motorcycles, boutique hotels, wine-paired dinners, bilingual guides, and a support crew with mechanical and medical staff. Whether you're traversing the Andes, sailing across the Strait of Magellan, or sipping wine beside a glacier-fed lake, this is Patagonian exploration redefined.

WHAT TO EXPECT

TOTAL RIDING DISTANCE

5,920 kilometers (approximate)

Climate & Altitude:
Patagonia is a region of extremes. You’ll experience microclimates that change hourly—sunny one moment, cold and windy the next. Expect temperatures from 5°C to 20°C depending on altitude and wind. Rain is possible, particularly near fjords and forests. High winds are common in open steppe areas. Altitudes range from sea level to mountain passes around 1,500 meters—no acclimatization is required, but proper layering is essential.

Road Conditions:
80% of the route is paved, 20% is hard-packed gravel. Gravel sections can include loose stones, corrugation, and some washouts depending on recent weather. Roads are generally in good condition but demand alertness, especially in strong crosswinds or in remote zones with minimal services. Riders must be confident handling their bike on unpaved terrain.

Motorcycles & Support:
You’ll be riding fully equipped dual-sport motorcycles suitable for mixed terrain. All bikes include panniers and crash protection. A support vehicle follows with tools, spares, and an onboard mechanic and medic. Your luggage rides with the vehicle—your only job is to ride and enjoy.

Meals & Dining:
Breakfast is included daily. Selected dinners include gourmet multi-course meals, local barbecues (asado), and regional specialties like Patagonian lamb, trout, and king crab. Expect wine tastings, cheese pairings, and menus crafted to reflect the culinary culture of each region.

Accommodation:
Carefully selected 4- and 5-star hotels, luxury eco-lodges, spa resorts, and authentic estancias. Most properties feature Wi-Fi, laundry service, and stunning views. Some are remote and rustic by nature but chosen for their exclusivity and experience.

Culture & Wildlife:
You’ll meet gauchos, visit rural ranches, and explore heritage towns with European and indigenous roots. Fauna includes guanacos, condors, foxes, rheas, and penguin colonies near Ushuaia. Your camera will be working overtime.

Pace & Style:
This is a VIP expedition, not a race. Daily distances vary from 150 to 370 km, with plenty of scenic stops, photo opportunities, and optional excursions. Our guide team sets a balanced pace to ensure comfort and enjoyment for all.
