Choose Your Adventure
Choose one country or connect complementary destinations through our multi-country cycling tours across South America. Each country offers a distinct combination of terrain, culture, and challenge.
Ecuador | Volcanoes to Cloud Forests
Descend from the slopes of Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, ride around Quilotoa, and continue through Andean villages towards the cloud forest. Choose a one-day ride or a multi-day journey connecting the Andes with the Amazon.
Colombia | Highlands and Heritage
Cycle through the Bogotá highlands and the countryside surrounding Villa de Leyva. Mountain roads, agricultural landscapes, and historic communities reveal a side of Colombia that conventional tours often pass by.
Selected itineraries combine Colombia and Ecuador within one wider South American journey.
Peru | Iconic Routes Through the Andes
Travel by bike through the volcanic landscapes around Arequipa, Colca Canyon, and the Altiplano near Lake Titicaca. Longer journeys continue towards Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu.
Strategic transfers help riders concentrate on the most rewarding sections while leaving time for Peru’s archaeological sites and living traditions.
Argentina | Patagonia at Its Most Open
Northern Patagonia brings together alpine forests, open mountain roads, and clear blue lakes. Routes may include the Seven Lakes region, Cerro Chapelco, Route 40, and communities connected to Mapuche culture.
The expansive scenery makes Argentina well-suited to riders looking for a longer cycling adventure.
Brazil | Highlands, Forests, and Waterfalls
Ride through rural highlands, river valleys, and waterfall country in Serra da Canastra. Other journeys cross the European Valley and continue into the Santa Catarina Mountains.
Brazil rewards riders with changing terrain and close contact with the landscapes and communities found beyond its major cities.
