Pretty Patagonia - 20 days

 

We go back to Patagonia, just because it is beautiful !

We start this wonderful tour in Temuco (Chile) and we'll take you from the high Andes in Chile, over the windy pampas in South Argentina, to the tip of the South American continent: Ushuaia (Argentina) on 'Tierra del Fuego'. On this tour you will visit Bariloche, Perito Moreno Glacier, Torres del Paine NP and much much more. And you will ride the famous "Carretera Austral" in Chile and the "Ruta 40" in Argentina. What more could you want?

Off course this is a real PeruMotors-tour, so our caravan is joined by a professional multi-lingual guide on a motorbike and a 4x4 support vehicle. This gives you the chance of riding this fantastic region for ultimate motorcycle-riding. We stay in comfortable hotels and besides riding you will visit, see, taste and experience Patagonia like you should !

This tour is scheduled only once in January 2010 and in 20 days you'll see it all !
