Itinerary of your trip Bicycling Patagonia’S Lakes District Plus! The Island Of Chi

  • Day 1 Day 1: Welcome To South America!
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Welcome To South America!

      We meet this afternoon at our hotel in San Carlos de Bariloche. This bustling mountain town is a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. After the bike fitting we’ll take a guided walk through Bariloche and enjoy a welcome dinner together. Distance 0 km / 0 mi

  • Day 2 Day 2: Bariloche To Circuito Chico
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Bariloche To Circuito Chico

      Today, tiny back roads lead us through forests and offer stunning views of Lago Nahuel Huapi and the Lago Perito Moreno. Our ride ends at the base of Cerro Campanario. We’ll take the chairlifts up the mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of Bariloche - this is often called one of the top ten views in the world. Distance 33 km / 21 mi

  • Day 3 Day 3: Villa La Angostura
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Villa La Angostura

      Your day begins with a catamaran* ride on Lake Nahuel Huapi. View Bariloche’s surrounding area from a different perspective as you float towards the Quetrihué Peninsula. Upon docking we’ll walk a wooded path through Arrayanes National Park and some of the most pristine myrtle in South America. In the 1970’s, this 300-year-old myrtle stand was awarded special protection under the Argentine government. Local legend has it that Walt Disney walked through this forest in the late 1930’s and it inspired his choice for Bambi’s cinnamon color as well as the film’s setting. Our hike will take between 3 and 4 hours. *In December the catamaran schedule changes so there will be a longer (1.5 hr) group shuttle to Villa La Angostura. We will still get to enjoy a 30-minute catamaran ride on Lake Nahuel Huapi before setting out on the hike through Arrayanes National Park. Distance 13 km / 8 mi

  • Day 4 Day 4: Crossing Into Chile
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Crossing Into Chile

      Today’s ride is all about crossing the Andes! While Argentina and Chile share the same latitude, Argentina’s dense and diverse vegetation is distinctly different from the lush green forests and farmlands of Chile. Prepare to be awestruck as you enjoy the incredible shift in landscape while pedaling from Lake Espejo over the Cardenal Samore Pass (4,311 feet) to the thermal resort of Termas de Puyehue. We’ll have a picnic lunch together before enjoying the downhill into Chile! Distance 87 km / 54 mi

We’ll shuttle to the starting point of your ride, overlooking Lake Llanquihue. After a quick downhill, you’ll pedal the east side of Lake Llanquihue with stunning views of snow-capped Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes in the near distance. Enjoy tranquil farmland and small forests before reaching our lakeside destination. For those wanting a full day’s ride, you may depart the hotel this morning by bike and enjoy a picnic lunch along the way. Distance 51 km / 32 mi

First we stop in Ancud for lunch together and then we bike to Puñihuil bay, where we take a boat ride around the small islands to visit the local penguins. After that we shuttle to Castro and have dinner together. Distance 25 km / 16 mi

      Day 9: Bicycle ChiloÉ National Park

      We pedal from Castro to Chiloé National Park on the Pacific Coast today to explore its ancient forests and learn about its history. This region was described by Charles Darwin on his famous voyage as rich in its diversity of temperate-zone forest plants. The park was created by the indigenous communities of Chiloé who have fought to protect the environment threatened by intensive deforestation. The national park is also home to rare species of animals endemic to Chile, such as picaflores (hummingbirds), kingfishers, huillines (sea otters), and pudúes (the smallest deer in the world). We’ll visit with members of the indigenous community of Quilque over lunch with local products. Distance 55 km / 34 mi
