It was a challenge rather than a relaxing holiday (as one would expect from cycling through Patagonia).  However, I am very glad I did it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a tough challenge, offset by magnificent scenery.

A wonder! They take care of all the details to make it a great experience, even for a beginner and enthusiastic pedalboard like me. Travelling with them was far the best way I found to know the north stretch. Great Mix of logistics, knowledge and good vibes. The best travel companions and great cletas.

Incredible trip through Patagonia! Claudia and her team are wonderful and so knowledgeable. Their expertise made our biking trip with 9 people go seamlessly and effortlessly. Their energy, passion, and enthusiasm went above and beyond my expectations. Would highly recommend touring with [the tour operator]!

Amazing Cyling in Southern Chile

I had a wonderful experience with [the tour operator] on both the Norte and Sur trips on the Carretera Austral in January 2022. Claudia and Gabriel were the best guides and supports I have travelled with and they ensured that throughout the trip we were prepared and cared for. The Carretera Austral is a stunning route that takes you through a whole host of landscapes with stunning views around every turn. The beauty of being on a bike is that you can stop as much (or as little) as you want to take it all in. We also stopped multiple times throughout each day for snacks/lunch/pictures and to just take in the view (depending on how far the ride was) and depending on the weather could warm up with some coffee/tea or get fresh water and something to eat. The whole trip balanced hard work on the bike with time to rest and recover and prepare for the next day.


I rented a bike from [the tour operator] for both trips and was able to use a gravel bike for the northern segment of the trip as the roads were mostly pavement and for the southern section, I used a mountain bike. Both were excellent for the roads we were on and well maintained throughout the trip.


As someone who is gluten free I was a bit wary of the gluten free options that would be available where we were travelling but Claudia and Gabriel ensured that I always had food for whenever I was hungry and plenty of extra snacks as we were riding.
I would happily recommend [the tour operator] to anyone looking to visit Southern Chile and am already brainstorming times to travel with them again.

I rode Puerto Montt to Coyhaique with [the tour operator] over 10 days in late Jan 2020. It was a truly great experience. I was a solo visitor from Australia in a small tour group of Chileans.

As another reviewer has said "I have only nice things to say about this company". Claudia and the [tour operator] team were professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable, and passionately committed to delivering a great customer experience. They went way beyond my expectations on a whole range of things both during and after the tour. The guides that rode and drove with us, Gabriel and Coke were super. They weren't just doing their job well, they were totally committed (24/7) to the experience and our safety and welfare. I chose the tour from an internet ad and was so pleased to find such nice people to deal with in Chile.

The tour itself was amazing. The riding hardish (but as expected). Most was on the shoulder of paved roads, so some traffic nearby, but these were world class roads with very goods shoulders. The scenery was so good and luckily for us the weather was fine (just one coldish rain day, a long day but one we all got through with Gabriel's encouragement). The food was almost the best bit; cooked breakfasts, (I'll not forget those hot scrambled egg ham and cheese rolls, coffee, I could go on).

I highly recommend the Nth Austral Tour with [the tour operator] Chile.
