Explore Argentina on Two Wheels
Discover scenic highways, mountain passes, and unforgettable landscapes on a motorcycle journey.
Motorcycle Touring In Argentina
Few places on earth are built for riding like Argentina. The Andes run the full length of the country, and the roads follow them through high desert painted in red and ochre, past vineyards, glacier-fed lakes and ancient forests, all the way to the windswept tip of the continent. You’ll ride the legendary Ruta 40, cross mountain passes into Chile and Bolivia, and finish each day with a fine local wine and a proper Argentine asado. A guide, a mechanic and a support vehicle travel with you, and your luggage goes ahead to the next hotel, so all you have to do is ride. Nights are spent in the best lodging each region has to offer, from historic haciendas to remote fjord-side lodges. The two tours below are our most popular routes, but every trip can be tailored to you: longer or shorter, more or less included, built around the way you like to ride.
