About this trip

The challenge begins in Chos Malal, it takes us north through the east of the “Cordillera del Viento” and in two days of intense ascents we reach the top of the mountain range with the Domuyo Volcano always snow-capped and always in sight.
Through this route recently created in order to shorten the transport of livestock in transhumance, we will mountain bike in the Andes in one of the most spectacular and isolated settings in Argentina. The descent towards Route 43 is indescribable, you have to experience it! On this journey we will get to enjoy the thermal water that emerges under the Domuyo and you will see the only Geysers that exist in Argentina. It is likely that we will be able to spot not one, but dozens of condors. Mountain biking in the Andes is not easy since the conditions of the mountain will make it very demanding from a physical point of view. In addition, 6,800 meters of elevation gain are added in the six days of mountain biking!

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.
