Explore the vitality of nature in the pristine Patagonian region that’s shared by Chile and Argentina.
Mountain bike across spectacular sites including the Valdivian jungle, volcanic craters, and glacial lakes. Our adventure is a round circuit and begins and ends in San Martin de los Andes.
San Martin de los Andes is an Argentinian city in the western province of Neuquén that rests at the foot of the Andes.
Beginning here we’ll head to the Lanin National Park, an incredible host of natural beauty. Thick forest woods blend into leafier terrain and then green meadows, while the ice cold glacial waters shadow our trail.
Crossing the border into Chile we continue towards Pucón. Our trail takes up past the steaming volcano of Villarrica, which last erupted in 2015, and the calmer volcano of Quetrupillán, which last erupted in 1872.
The thick Andino-Patagónico forest provides dramatic surroundings that offer an incredible biking adventure.
Then we’ll head back east towards the Argentinian border via a slowly ascending wooded trail. We’ll cross on one of the less used but most beautiful border crossing, the Carirriñe pass. The inicial section runs through large forests of lengas and coihues.
Passing the beautiful Laguna Verde, we’ll head closer to our starting point. The large forested region brings us to the lakes of Curruhué Grande and Curruhué Chico, before finally biking full circle back to San Martin de los Andes.
The difficulty of this mountain bike trip is medium, and so it is open to people aged over 18.
