In a relative (!) short tour PeruMotors shows you windy Patagonia on a guided motorcycle tour. A good mix of nature and fantastic motorcycling over paved and unpaved roads. Every rider wants to go to Patagonia. And so do we !
We provide the motorcycles, hotels, guides, etc. All is taken care of.
Closer to Antarctica you can not go. This is the end of the world. In Chile we ride the “Carretera Austral” and in Argentina the “Ruta 40”, the two most famous roads in South America. We will ride long stretches of paved and unpaved parts of these routes. Of course the un-official capital of Patagonia, San Carlos de Bariloche is on the itinerary. But there is so much more to experience on this tour.

Personal injury and death:
All our motorcycles are insured according to the minimum requirements of the Chilean and Argentinian authorities. This means that the rider, his passenger AND third parties are covered for medical (!) costs.

If you caused any damage to your rental motorcycle or a third party, this will be settled with the “Security Deposit”.
Please, contact us for more information about this insurance.
You will arrive in Temuco via Santiago by airplane on day one. When all participants arrived in Villarrica your tour guide will arrange the briefing of the upcoming tour. And he will arrange the necessary paperwork and the “Security Deposit” for the motorcycle with you.
It is finally time to start our engines on our first riding day. We leave Chile behind us for now, on our way to a very small town in Argentina. For the first time during this tour we’ll have to cross te border AND the mighty Andes mountain range.
Finally we are getting closer and closer to the real Patagonia. Heading south on ‘Ruta 40’, this is the famous “Route 66” of Argentina. Spectacular riding and views will be your part. We end up in Bariloche, the ‘un-official’ capital of Patagonia. And a world famous ski resort.
We are still following the Ruta 40 south bound. Lunch will be in El Bolson. This town is famous for UFO sightings. After lunch we leave the pavement behind and on gravel we go to the “Los Alerces National Park”. After visiting this beautiful park, we ride to Esquel, where we’ll stay the night.
Heading for the border again. Just after the town of Trevelin, the road changes into gravel. In Chile the unpaved road continues to Futaleufu, and even further to the ‘Carretera Austral’, the famous southern Chilean highway. In the little town of La Junta we will find our hotel.
Further south on the “Carretera Austral”, again a fantastic ride, with spectacular views on the Andes. It seems that it is getting better every day ! Through 2 national parks we ride to Coyhaique, a quiet town in the heart of Chilean Patagonia.
Todays ride brings us to the shores of Lake Gral. Carrera. This lake is located half in Argentina, half in Chile. Today we stay in Chile, and we will stay in a picturesque lodge, on the shore of the lake.
Day 8 is a resting day, with several options for activities.
One of the longest riding days on the tour. Along the lake shore we ride east bound back to Argentina on a beautiful gravel road. Once in Argentina we continue on Ruta 40 south bound. A connection day crossing the Argentinian ‘Pampa’. A totally deserted region in this country. Maybe you will see some wildlife, like the nandoe or guanaco. We stop for the night near the touristless town of Gobernador Gregores in a authentic estancia (farm).
Oh yes, we are back in Argentina. And back on the ‘never-ending’ Ruta 40. On our way to quite a touristic town: El Calafate. If the visibility allows, we can see Mount Fitz Roy from the shore of Lago Viedma. Further south we will end up in the touristic town on the shore of Lago Argentino. Here we stay 2 nights.
Now you know why El Calafate is touristic. It is because of the nearby Perito Moreno glacier, part of the largest icefields in the world.
On ‘Day 11’ we go on our motorcycles to the Glaciares National Park and see the glacier for ourselves (160 km. / 100 mi.). You can really hear (!) the glacier moving. This is absolutely one of the most impressive places on earth.
One of the longest ridings days of the tour. After 365 kilometers we hit the border with Chile again. And about 55 kilometers further down the road we see the always windy ‘Straits of Magellan’. We will take the ferry to Tierra del Fuego. Once on the island, we follow our route to Cerro Sombrero, where we stay for the night.
Another long riding day all the way to the southern most city in the world: Ushuaia. Because this city is Argentinian, another border crossing will be our part today.
‘Day 14’ is a day of choice. Or, you can go with your tour guide to the “End of the World”-park on your motorcycle. Or, you want to discover Ushuaia and its surroundings, like a boat trip on the world famous Beagle channel. It is up to you !
We are heading for Chile again. This means the last border crossing on this tour. We stay in the little town of Porvenir, still on the island of Tierra del Fuego.
Back on board of the ‘Straits of Magellan’ ferry. We are on our way to Puerto Natales, but it is NOT the end of the tour. Hopefully we’ll have tail winds.
We will ride mostly on beautiful unpaved roads through the very impressive Torres del Paine National Park. Don’t forget your camera, because the views are really spectacular. One of the many highlights during this tour. In the late afternoon we ride back to Puerto Natales for the night. Here we’ll have to surrender the motorcycles and go for our farewell-dinner.
Today we will bring you to the local airport for your flight back home.
