What bikepacking means with us
On a bikepacking trip there is no support vehicle: you carry your own gear on the bike, and the group moves together from one camp or hostel to the next. Our guides ride with you, carry the group equipment and solve problems with you on the road.
It asks for more than a supported tour: long days in the saddle, few comforts and the will to adapt when the weather or the road changes the plan. What you get back is the feeling of having crossed a wild place on your own strength.

Is bikepacking for me?
- Fitness: our bikepacking trips are rated hard. You should be used to several long days in a row on a loaded bike.
- Team spirit: no rider is ever left alone with a problem. Guides and riders solve things together, and arriving together is the goal.
- Preparation: before departure we hold a video call on the trip and the equipment, and the guides advise you on your gear and bike set-up.
- Selection: we build each group from riders of a similar level, using a short questionnaire in the trip handbook.
What riders say
5.0 67 reviews on GoogleI did the Patagonia trip – my first time bikepacking! Nacho and Nicola were excellent light-touch guides: fun, respectful and empowering. The route design was awesome, with enough variety and unique highlights. Highly recommend!
Patagonia 2023 is a dream come true, my 1st bikepacking experience ever so a bit of a challenge… but if you really want it you'll make it to Ushuaia. Willy is a great leader, very inspiring and energizing, the team was just great.
Before starting you are afraid 12 days riding could be too much… And quite soon, too soon, you realize it is over and you start dreaming of your next trip. Very well organized, while keeping the spirit of the adventure. A life changer.
