About this trip

The Andes cross – Pichachen Pass starts in Argentina and finishes in Chile. We start our ride under the Domuyo Volcano domains, the highest mountain in Patagonia! And we end in “Los Angeles”, the capital of the 8° region in Chile.
The challenging climbing is rewarded by long downhill rides once we enter Chile. We will camp under incredibly huge skies, involved in a magical setting of jagged peaks, snow-capped mountains and desolate desert landscapes. Our experienced team of tour leaders, support staff and cooks work as an efficient team. They are always a step ahead of our guests needs. You will always have a team member nearby.
If you prefer you can ride alone. Whether it be cycling strong at the front or at your own relaxed pace in the rear. You will have this freedom. Our team members will greet you around the next curve with an encouraging word and a friendly smile. You will feel their strong support. Live this Andes cross once-in-a-lifetime experience with us!

I am passionate of mountain biking, travelling and getting to know people from different corners of the planet. This probably was what more than twenty years ago inspired me to start Mtbtours as a business but also as a way of life.
