South America Bicycle Trips

I first rate end-to-end experience. The route, the variations in landscape and the demands made upon the cyclist were all thoughtfully considered. The accommodation used was all very good, very clean and occasionally excellent. Our lunch stops were all interesting as we dined in local restaurants run by families. We were blessed with good weather, a fine trio of guides and a lovely group. Our support vehicle loitered around us when we were on the move and miraculously would appear under the shade of a tree with a table full of goodies and drinks. The early stages are green and lush, but as the Andes are climbed and Argentina entered, the route turns north and the landscape becomes less Alpine and more ‘high plains drifter’ and finally near desert with glacial topped volcanoes and lava fields. The Monkey Puzzel forests ate the end a cool green and beautiful treat. Both countries are calm gentle places, the driving generally very calm and where the people are kind and courteous. The Mantupechu villages and tribal lands were fascinating.

What a truly magical experience this cycling holiday turned out to be! My daughter and I, both newcomers to cycling, wanted something extraordinary to mark a special time before she leaves home, and this adventure absolutely exceeded every expectation. We embarked on a journey through three incredible countries, discovering stunning landscapes and hidden gems along the way. The group we joined was fantastic—supportive, fun, and full of laughter. From start to finish, we were surrounded by kind people who made every moment even more memorable. It wasn’t just a holiday; it was the perfect bonding experience, filled with joy, a little challenge, and a lot of laughter. We came home with our hearts full and memories we’ll cherish forever. Simply the best!

Our cycling adventure through the Lake District of Chile and Argentina was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, it was a journey filled with breathtaking scenery, unique experiences, and unforgettable moments. First and foremost, a huge shoutout to our incredible guide, Ale, whose passion, expertise, and energy made the trip seamless and enjoyable. His knowledge of the region, combined with his enthusiasm for sharing it, elevated every aspect of the journey. The scenery was absolutely stunning—Patagonia at its finest. We cycled past shimmering lakes, towering snow-capped volcanoes, dense forests of monkey puzzle trees, and rolling gravel roads that offered both challenge and charm. Each day brought something new: crossing lakes by ferries, spotting tarantulas on the road, and soaking in the vast, untouched beauty of the region. The sense of discovery was unparalleled. Every turn revealed another postcard-perfect view, from tranquil lake shores to the rugged peaks of the Andes. The gravel roads and challenging terrain were made worthwhile by the jaw-dropping vistas and the camaraderie of fellow travelers. Sharing meals and stories with the group fostered a sense of community, making the trip as much about the people as the places. This journey through two countries was more than just a trip; it was a soul-enriching experience. It rekindled a deep appreciation for nature, adventure, and the simple joys of life. If you're looking to fall in love with the world again, this is the way to do it.

My first cycling trip ever and being only a recreational cyclist i was a bit worried if i'd keep up, but i worried needlessly! Anyone with a good level of fitness and the right mindset will be fine. It was humid, wet, hilly and challenging on times, but we all kept up and altogether it was a great adventure and the downhills, wildlife and scenery more than made up for it.

This is a great cycling adventure. If you love cycling, have a desire to see wonderful countries and share travel experiences, then this the trip for you. We had a mixture rain forests and rural roads. Everyday had its own highlights!! We even had an option to visit an uninhabited desert island. The tour leader made everything run smoothly and added to the experience.

It was an incredible trip and I can?t believe how much we did and saw in the limited time. G adventures had everything organized and scheduled to see and experience the best of each place.
