Route 40 Tour

An adventure along RUTA 40 from KM 0 in Patagonia to the Bolivian border

On this adventure we're going to ride the RUTA 40 Argentina from start to finish! That's right, starting from the south of Patagonia, we'll follow the R40 all the way to the Bolivian border. Riding at the foot of the Andes, our trip promises unique landscapes and incredible experiences. We'll be driving through inhospitable regions and passing through villages forgotten in time, getting to know a part of Argentina that is unconventional when it comes to tourism. The scenery changes from the icy plains of southern Patagonia to green forests surrounded by beautiful lakes, arid pampas until we reach the Argentine north with its practically desert scenery. A perfect trip for those who like adventure and getting to know unconventional places. The tour takes place on the participant's own motorcycle.
