Arrival in Antofagasta
About the tour
On this tour, we will explore the Atacama Desert, one of the most sought-after destinations for motorcyclists in South America! An arid yet captivating setting, with lunar landscapes, salt flats, geysers, lagoons, and volcanoes will win you over. We will spend two full days in the Atacama region, where we will visit its main attractions, including the famous Hand of the Desert sculpture. In addition to the Atacama, we will ride through Northwest Argentina, known for its colorful mountains and unique rock formations found in Purmamarca and the Quebrada de las Conchas. Our trip promises a magical experience crossing the Andes Mountains twice, once via the traditional Jama Pass and again through the uninhabited San Francisco Pass. A perfect tour for those who love sightseeing, witnessing natural beauty firsthand, and the right amount of adventure. Tour conducted with motorcycles rented in Chile.
