This cycling adventure takes us on a journey through a part of the world that resembles no other. Starting in the popular town of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, and finishing in Salta la Linda, Argentina, we take many roads with very little traffic and no other cyclists. This once-in-a-lifetime journey includes cycling through salt flats, ravines, a serpentine road through a rainforest and in the driest desert in the world.
Moderate: 8mph-10mph (13kph-16kph)
Terrain:Approximately 67 percent paved, 33 percent unpaved tracks. Mainly good condition paved roads; some unpaved roads on several days; condition of unpaved sections dependent upon weather. Routes mainly follow quiet roads.
The adventure begins in the town of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
Around 6pm, say hola to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead. Your tour leader then ensures a big Chilean welcome over a group dinner.
There’s no cycling today, so take time to rest your legs before our two-wheel adventure begins in earnest tomorrow.

Accommodation: Hotel Pascual Andino (or similar)
This morning, we get on our bikes for the first time and go on an acclimatisation ride. We depart the town of San Pedro and cycle to the Valley of the Moon. Here you feel as if you have landed on another planet, it is often compared to Mars with its red rock formations and dunes. Afterwards, there is an option of cycling towards El Mirador de Ckari, near Piedra del Coyote, before returning to San Pedro.
Accommodation: Hotel Pascual Andino (or similar)
We have a very early start as we depart our hotel and set off towards the impressive Tatio Geysers, the third largest geyser fields in the world and the largest in the southern hemisphere. They are located at 13,125ft (4,000m) above sea level. Departing early gives us an opportunity to watch sunrise in one of the most important geothermic fields in the world. On arrival, we enjoy breakfast in this beautiful setting, providing us the perfect way to warm up. On our return to San Pedro, we see beautiful sites and stop in the village of Machuca, an Atacameño village of 20 houses built from clay, straw and cactus wood. We head back to town in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we have a short ride to San Isidro’s Chapel, stopping along the way at well-known landmarks, including a winding canyon known as Devil’s Throat.
Accommodation: Hotel Pascual Andino (or similar)
Today is a long travel day, so we rise early to say goodbye to Chile and cross via the Jama Pass (14,025ft/4,275m) into Argentina (approximately 2hr 30min). We stop along the way at viewpoints to stretch our legs and take photos, including a pause at lagoons in Los Flamencos National Reserve. Once we clear immigration, we continue our transfer to the town of Jama (approximately 2hr 30min). In Jama, we have lunch before we get on our bikes and cycle alongside the Jama salt flats. We then have another transfer (approximately 1hr 30min) to Susques, our destination for the night.
Accommodation: Hotel Pastos Chicos (or similar)
Departing Susques, we transfer (approximately one hour) to the small community of Cerro Negro. We unload the bikes and cycle towards the Salinas Grandes saltpans. Here, we can ride on salt before stopping for our picnic lunch. After lunch, we have a short transfer to the viewpoint of Abra de Potrerillos (13,680ft/4,170m). From here, we enjoy a fast, downhill ride with amazing views of coloured hills and rock formations until we arrive in Purmamarca, where we will lodge. There is an optional track that allows us to admire the famous Hill of Seven Colours.
Accommodation: Colores de Purmamarca (or similar)
We start the morning with a transfer (approximately one hour) to the small town of El Carmen. Today’s ride feels completely different as we cycle on a paved road through a rainforest heading south towards Salta. This route joins the two main cities in the province, Salta and Jujuy, and is one of the most spectacular cycling stages we encounter: a serpentine road with lush rainforest on either side. We stop for a picnic lunch near the town of La Caldera before boarding a transfer to our destination for the next two nights, the beautiful city of Salta.
Accommodation: Design Suites Salta (or similar)
Spend today at leisure and enjoy exploring beautiful Salta. We recommend visiting the Museum of High Altitude Archaeology (MAAM) in the town centre, where you can see one of three mummified children from the Inca civilisation, who were sacrificed at the Llullaillaco Volcano. Please ask your tour leader to organise your visit. We can also arrange a bird-watching trip to Finca Cielo Verde.
Accommodation: Design Suites Salta (or similar)
Kick off with a transfer (three hours) to Los Artesanos viewpoint, where we hop on our bikes and ride up Cuesta del Obispo (Bishop’s Hill).
Enjoy wonderful viewpoints along the way, such as Piedra del Molino (Millstone) and Los Ojos del Cóndor (the Condor’s Eyes), where we will hopefully see soaring condors.
Next, we cycle into the high desert of Los Cardones National Park, stopping at the Mirador del Camino del Inca (the Incas’ Route Viewpoint) before finishing in the village of Cachi.
Accommodation: El Cortijo Hotel Boutique (or similar)
This morning, we cycle the RN40 – the Artisans’ Route – stopping at El Colte, where loom weavers display their work on the side of the path. From there, we ride to Molinos, following the same road, a wavy route with gentle slopes. We finish at our accommodation for the night – an 18th-century hotel on the Incas’ Route.
Accommodation: Hacienda de Molinos Hotel (or similar)
Begin with a transfer (2hrs) to our starting point for today, in front of the Nuestra Señora de la Merced Chapel, just after Payogastilla. Then head south towards the Calchaquí Valley, riding for 10.5mi (17km) on hard gravel and stopping to visit San Carlos, the second-oldest village in Argentina. Continue cycling to our accommodation in the middle of vineyards, where we can relax after a rewarding ride.
Accommodation: Viñas de Cafayate Wine Resort (or similar)
Cycle to Quilmes this morning, Calchaquí ruins from an indigenous community that once lived among the Calchaquí mountains. Enjoy a guided tour before lunch, then transfer (approximately one hour) back to Cafayate.
Accommodation: Viñas de Cafayate Wine Resort (or similar)
After breakfast and a short transfer we start cycling towards and along the Conchas River valley, home to imposing rock formations, such as El Anfiteatro (The Amphitheatre) and La Garganta del Diablo (The Devil’s Throat). We finish our ride at an abandoned railway station, Alemania (Germany); from there, take a transfer (approximately two hours) to our final accommodation.
Accommodation: Design Suites Salta (or similar)
The adventure draws to a close today and we begin our return journeys home. If you’d like more time to explore, speak to your sales representative about extending your stay.

Worth Knowing
This trip is classified Road and Activity Level 4 (Moderate & Challenging). For more information on our trip gradings please visit the Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.
Suitability: The set itinerary is not technical; however, most of this tour is spent at high altitude and sometimes we cycle above 9,845ft (3,000m), where the air is noticeably thinner. Because of this, we recommend you have good fitness levels for this trip. Some cycling experience is recommended.
Route: Most of the roads are in good condition, although there can be potholes and poorer conditions in some short sections. You should be prepared for some cycling on unpaved gravel/dirt roads. The roads are generally free of heavy traffic until we reach towns, where we are more likely to encounter other vehicles.
Itinerary: Changes in local cycle route or distance may be necessary should our cycle team determine safety concerns due to increased commercial traffic and/or deteriorating road conditions pertaining to our originally advertised routes.
Altitude: This trip spends time above 9,842ft (3,000m); please refer to the Altitude Warning within the Trip Notes for more information and advice on how to limit the effects of altitude sickness.

From the day I met Claudio in San Pedro to my last day in Salta. I have seen so many different landscapes, cycling on so many different roads. Was great to cycle on a salt lake, in narrow canyons, in a the devils’s throat on a road above 4000m in...
A difficult choice ! My first day in Argentina: cycling above 4000m in the middle of the puna was really special
Claudio was always here for me- for assistance, for recommendations and also for customising the trip to my taste. Always very friendly ! He even introduced me to his family !
I will repeat Claire and Andrew precious advice that I followed ! Great to get used ro altitude. And a must see !
A thoroughly enjoyable and amazing experience involving some of the most varied and awe-inspiring scenery within Northern Chile and Argentina. We felt that this trip was a cost effective and immersive way of enjoying the scenery. I would re-iterate a previous comment that although the distances often don't appear that...
The highlights are too numerous to mention but the stand-outs for us were the two long descents from stunning Susques down into the Humahuaca gorge and the final days biking down Bishop's slope.
Ale was charming, ever cheerful and worked hard to keep our large group on track. He had great local knowledge and interesting stories that embellished our trip. Our feeling was that there were not enough staff to deal with the group in an efficient way. There were just three people including Ale to drive the 2 vans and provide stop breaks and lunch. Loading the bikes and lunch preparation was slow and time consuming meaning that we often arrived late at the final destination with little down time before our evening meal. The van that was meant to be readily available with our possessions including additional clothing was always at the back of the group which sometimes meant waiting up to 90minutes getting cold for the van to catch up for example.
We definitely benefitted from arriving a few days earlier in San Pedro to acclimatise to the altitude. We also enjoyed visiting some of the sites not covered by the trip on our own (we hired a car), namely the Altiplanic lakes and Chaxa lagoon. Some people in our group suffered from the effects of altitude for a couple of days. Sandy gravel roads were a significant feature of this trip, with one full day on gravel. Experience in off road cycling would be of benefit for these sections. The bike seats were not comfortable for us, consider bringing your own or a padded cover. The weather was unusually warm for our trip meaning that the many warm clothes we brought were barely worn, however you do need some warm clothing for the cooler nights, high altitude and the Geyser trip. Salta was a complete surprise for us. Larger, more interesting and enjoyable than we anticipated. Well worth an extra night or two stay at the end as there is lots to do in and around the city. It also felt completely safe to walk around at all times of the day and night. Argentina is currently very cheap with the blue rate being offered by credit cards and currency exchange from American dollars.
Lunches prepared in the field were of a generally disappointing standard with questionable hygiene however this was felt to be largely due to lack of staff and preparation time.
A fantastic trip, cycling with a great group of people, through some amazing scenery in Chile and Argentina. I enjoyed all of the rides although a few were tough in the dry heat at 4000 metres. Plenty of support from our tour guides Ale Moreiras and Claudio Sanuy who were...
Our early morning visit to the geysers at El Tatio. Crossing the Jama Pass from Chile into Argentina. Riding on the salt flats at Salinas grandes Descending the 42 km of the Bishop's slope.
Our leader was Ale Moreiras who was an entertaining and competent leader whose professionalism and enthusiasm were an integral part of his guiding. It was evident that Ale and his co-leader, Claudio Sanuy, enjoyed their work and both worked hard, but without fuss, to ensure the tour went according to plan. In my case my wife became affected by toothache but Ale was able to find, and take her to a dentist, who saw her on a Sunday afternoon, prescribing antibiotics which allowed her to continue the tour. We were both thankful for this and I was amazed at Ale's resourcefulness. He seemed to have contacts everywhere we went and whilst some might say this was a coincidence, I think such things don't happen without effort being made to develop a network of contacts for times of need. I think Ale was the main organiser but Claudio was equally enthusiastic and the two complemented each other very well, each with skills and contacts to support the other.
There is a reasonable distance travelled on 'gravel' but this surface is much like forest trails that can be found in England. We did not encounter large rocks to be negotiated. However, unlike trails in England a lot of these are above 3500 metres and for our trip the weather was quite hot. The heat and altitude mean that all riders must be aware of how they feel at all times. Dehydration, altitude sickness and fatigue are real issues to watch out for. Enjoy the riding, the scenery is fantastic.
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The experienced guide, Ale, and helper, Claudio, bent over backwards to be helpful and hospitable throughout. Spectacular scenery. Great accommodation (except to start with in in Chile but we understand they won't be using Our Habitas again). Food (steaks!) to die for!
Perhaps reaching the 3,457m top on the final day after a l-o-o-o-ng (13.5 mile) climb. Other Exodus trips we've been on make more of building up to THE big climb of the trip but this was a bit low key. But this is a minor criticism. The geyser trip was amazing but it really was mega-cold (-8 degrees someone said) to start with. Salt flats were great too.
Ale did a great job - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, capable. Gave good briefings. No criticisms. Claudio was excellent support.
Cycling was tougher than we expected - heat, ascents and quite a bit of gravel surface took their toll so if we did it again we'd want to be fitter (but I'd say we were 'moderately fit' which the grading specifies) . Exodus need to look at their grading system as this 'Moderate to Challenging' was much tougher than the 'Moderate to Challenging' of Kerala that we've done. Our biggest concern in advance was the altitude but this had zero apparent effect on us, except occasional shortness of breath walking around. It probably affected our cycling capability too but we weren't conscious of that factor compared to the other points above.
There was less down time, perhaps to enjoy the hotel, than in some previous Exodus trips. But that's the nature of the trip - no complaint.
An action-packed journey through spectacular Andean scenery with plenty of wildlife to enjoy.
Cycling and climbing through Los Cardones National Park at altitude with the Cerro Malcante mountain (5070m) on the horizon, we stopped for a fabulous picnic lunch just before the main 2000m descent to the finish.
Tai was excellent in every way and worked really hard with his assistants to ensure that everyone enjoyed the trip to the utmost.
We have tended to take trips where the focus is sightseeing in the destination towns and cities. On this trip scenery and wildlife are king, and we thoroughly enjoyed it for this.
This was our first experience of South America, and we will most certainly be back!
We've just returned from one of our best cycling trips. The scenery was amazing and varied so much day to day - Martian landscapes, amazing rock formations, geysers, salt flats and cacti. It's hard to single out anything in particular as being a favourite because it was all stunning. The...
It was all brilliant.
Ale Morwiras was great: enthusiastic, sociable, informative and a great organiser.
Make sure you have suitable warm clothes for the days at high altitude.
This was the one of the best cycling trips we’ve done and couldn’t recommend it more highly. There was so much contrast and diversity in the landscapes and terrain each day! No 2 days were the same! From high plateaus, salt flats, rainforest, rocky landscapes, river valleys, great tarmac roads...
Every day had its own inspirational moment - the Moon Valley in the high desert, the Tatio Geysers at sunrise followed by a dip in the thermal pool, cycling on the salt flats, the 2 incredible 35km descents, the breathtaking geological features and amazing colourful rock formations.... I could keep going on!! One really special moment was being entertained by local musicians in the incredible amphitheatre - a fallen cavern created by an ancient waterfall.
Ale was first class! He was a great leader and went over and above the call of duty every day. He also had great knowledge of the political and local history - fascinating sensitive and charming. Also the support team were fantastic.
Be prepared for altitude- much of the trip is at significant altitude but the trip allows for acclimatisation. Also bring clothing for all temperatures- above 4000m it is quite chilly and it’s well below freezing visiting the Geysers at dawn! Others on our trip have recommended a good saddle or padding for the rutted gravel and a good camera is a must!
I just couldn’t recommend this trip and the leader and more highly - both were exceptional (legend) Book it - you won’t be disappointed!!
Great riding, fantastic scenery and superb support staff.
Salt plains, geysers and hill of 7 colours. Two awesome downhill rides.
Ale was excellent- not only in role of trip leader, but also in imparting knowledge of local history and politics. Very organised and helpful.
Walking boots or shoes recommended for sand dune and geyser walk. Trip rating of 4 feels right. None of us had significant altitude symptoms. The only climbing at altitude was on the last day of the trip, when we had acclimatised. The 30% non tarmac was on sandy/gravelly/corrugated roads which needed some care for the uninitiated. The birdwatching/ barbeque option for the day off in Salta was hugely enjoyed by the 10 of us who chose this.
The scenery was stunning - pack your best camera
Such a variety of cycling through such a variety of landscapes. Some of the best days riding we’ve ever done.
The ride through the rain forest; riding on the pampas.
Brilliant - your tour leaders are always good, but Ale was exceptional and inspirational. The support staff were brilliant too!
Don’t be fooled by seemingly short distances - most of the rides are at high altitude, so pace yourself.
We were astounded by the variety, the silence on the high planes. The best trip ever.
This trip was absolutely fantastic, I really didn't want it to end. The scenery was jaw dropping with different views and a different cycling experience every day. It's hard to single out anything in particular that stands out because it was all stunning. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Getting on the bike every day and discovering that once again the scenery was superb and different.
Leader and crew were a brilliant team.
Be sure to have your own comfortable saddle or a gel seat cover because the corrugated gravel roads can be hard on your tail end! You might also want to take a buff or something you can use to cover your mouth as some of the days can be quite dusty. The cycling looks like short distances, especially at the start but the roads/terrain and altitude mean it is still quite challenging.
