Escape to Ushuaia

 

Our 12-Day Escape to Ushuaia Adventure begins in Bariloche and ends in Ushuaia, Argentina. This Adventure is not an "expedition". More than 95% of the route is paved and that which is not is generally hard-packed gravel that is in good condition. The trip is suitable for two-up riding and limited off-pavement experience.

The stop at "El Fin Del Mundo" will provide time to explore this marvelous part of the world, including Tierra del Fuego National Park.  Other potential side trips include aride to Puerto Harberton - and beyond - to the southernmost point in the world to which it's possible to ride a motorcycle.

Riders will also visit Chile's famous Torres del Paine National Park, where they will stay at a small hotel situated on an island on one of the park's shimmering lakes.

At the Perito Moreno Glacier, guests will view one of the largest and most impressive glaciers in the world, where huge chunks of ice "calve" and crash into the water regularly.

(Alternate trips are in the opposite direction)
