The Andes are a veritable cyclist’s dream with the ever-changing landscapes of mountains, lakes and villages all served with top class routes.
Our South America mountain biking and road cycling holiday let you experience the Andes in a unique, exhilarating way.
You travel fast enough to appreciate the changing landscapes, yet slowly enough to make out the detail.
We have a raft of shorter, family-friendly rides, too, gliding down forest and gravel tracks through remote and picturesque villages.
Road cyclists will love the long climbs and descents through remote, verdant countryside.
Mountain bikers can enjoy fun days out or demanding black route technical workouts – sometimes on Inca paths – and always maximum fun.
All tours are fully-supported with a back-up vehicle so that you get the most from your bike adventure holiday.
Previous experience is not essential, but bring your spirit of adventure – cycling is one of the most exciting and intimate ways to understand the beauties of South America.
We recommend your build-up to the expedition should include plenty of biking time. Bring your own steed for the adventure, or use our hire bikes for ease of travel.

If you are taking your own bike it should preferably be a mountain bike, quality 24+ gears, front/double-suspension, cross-country bike.
Please contact us if you are unsure whether your bike will be suitable.
During the day hopefully it will be generally sunny enough for shorts and T-shirts though having a fleece and rain gear handy is advisable. It can and will get cold, especially in the evenings so bring a warm fleece jacket, a good waterproof and some warm clothes including thermal underwear, gloves, scarf and woolly hat as well as one set of smarter clothes for cities.

We provide everything except a bike, personal equipment and clothing. If you are taking your own bike it should preferably be a road bike or, alternatively, a mountain bike fitted with slick tyres.
Although we will be taking things at a relatively leisurely pace, the route is mountainous and challenging, therefore we recommend that you have either a triple or compact chainset or a 27 bottom sprocket to ease the climbing.
