MotoDiscovery is no doubt the most experienced company operating in South America. When riding in places like Patagonia, experience can't be under estimated. It matters. And we also know that at the end of the day great dining, a good place to lay your head, and service matters too! In this regard, MotoDiscovery is unmatched….we do our Adventure in Style.
With a fresh itinerary design for the legendary MotoDiscovery Tierra del Fuego Expedition, we now have a ride that is far more relaxing, retains all the great highlights and is effectively more balanced. For years we have been starting and ending in Vina del Mar, Chile, an itinerary that demanded riding all the way to the southern tip at Ushuaia and then all the way back. Now we have shortened the ride by only a few days but have permitted additional two and three day stops to allow for optional riding explorations, time to do a little trout fishing, hiking the Andes and to recover from the rigors of the road. We've responded to the suggestions of our past Tierra del Fuego Expedition veterans. We think they know best!
Itinerary Highlights
- A detailed itinerary with overnight stops will be provided to Expedition participants along wit ha comprehensive Information Booklet.
- Riders fly into Santiago, Chile. With reception of the ocean container in the port of Valparaiso Chile, bikes are unloaded and the Expedition begins with the ride high across the magnificent Andes into Argentina and the wine growing regions of Mendoza.
- This new itinerary never has you far from the Andes as you ride south through the lake districts to San Carlos de Bariloche
- Experience the beauty of Southern Chile’s fiord lands, skirting the eastern slopes of the Andes through green forests and over scenic passes.
- Entering Argentina, the Expedition will ride the enormous windswept region known as Patagonia. This southern half of Argentina and Chile is a “state of mind” that has lured adventurers for centuries.
- Guanacos, cousins of the llama and camel, and the ostrich-like Ñandu, are often seen. The jagged snow capped Andes range of Fitz Roy loom in the distance as you travel Highway 40 to Calafate.
- View the breathtaking sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the world’s largest glaciers.
- The mountains of Torres del Paine dwarf the Alps of Europe. Here you can witness the mighty condor in flight.
- Ferry to the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego and then ride to the Argentina port town of Ushuaia, staging point for many Antarctic expeditions. A short ride to Bahia Lapataia, the End of the Road.... 17,848 KM from Alaska!
- Having reached the Southern most inhabitable point on earth, there will be time to explore beaches inhabited by penguins, take a day cruise and relish the experience of having reached el Fin del Mundo.
