Chile - Patagonia & Altiplano - Bike and Hike Holiday

An incredible South American cycling holiday to Chile’s most spectacular areas. From the sublime scenery of the high Andes, with its volcanoes and ancient culture, to hiking in the mountains, lakes and glaciers of Patagonia, this is a fantastic way to spend Christmas and welcome in the New Year.

Our cycling holiday begins in a region few people experience, spending time amongst the Aymaran Indian communities. Our route provides fantastic cycling in the dramatic Altiplano and includes visits to the region’s premier National Parks of Isluga and Lauca - home of the highest lake in the world - Lago Chungara and the impressive Salar de Surire salt lake.

Following time on the pacific coast at Arica we fly south to Puerto Montt and embark on a breathtaking cruise through beautiful fjords and island archipelagos before arriving at Puerto Natales. The cycling holiday then departs for the ‘Jewel of Patagonia’, the spectacular Torres del Paine National Park. Here we spend time hiking in its wild and spectacular scenery, visiting its lakes, glaciers and the majestic granite peaks of the Torres.

Highlights are numerous, including the hikes to Torres Viewpoint and Glacier Gray with its floating icebergs, Saltos del Paine waterfall and the Lakes of Nordenskjold and Cebolla. We conclude the holiday with a visit to the penguin colony at Otway Sound, before our final night of festivities in Chile’s most southerly city, Punta Arenas. Wildlife abounds in both north and south areas of the trip and includes llama, guanaco, alpaca, flamingo and the impressive condor.
