MOTORRAD TOURS PATAGONIA
It’s a cliché, but Patagonia will take your breath away again and again and again. A true wilderness destination with a vast spectrum of landscapes and cultures.
Patagonia is one of the last true wilderness destinations. See it now, in all its glory, before it’s too late…
THE BEST THINGS about touring Patagonia on a motorcycle are… Patagonia is a real last wilderness destination; there are iconic roads, views so good people end up riding off the road (no really, it happened) and cultures ranging from a Germanspeaking town to sheep farms with no Internet, phone signal or mains power. Oh and a Welsh settlement too, just for good measure. And as for wilderness, there are sections where you’ll do 150 miles between fuel stations, and that’s a long way to ride without a fuel station. The riding is simply incredible, with stunning gravel and challenging tarmac roads throughout. It really is a bucket-list destination…
When to go?
The riding season in Patagonia is short, essentially mid-november to the end of March. Spring is the best time to go (December), as you’ll get lambs bouncing round in the fields, baby guanaco (Alpacastyle animals), flowers; it’s just a beautiful time to be there. As you’ll be riding in the Andes and you are a long way south, it can rain, it will at times be cold at altitude and it can even snow. If you go in the summer, basically January, you’re more likely to get better weather but it isn’t as pretty and there’s still no guarantee that it won’t rain or snow on you. Temperatures can be as high as late twenties and we’ve seen as low as two degrees Celsius.
