Our 15-Day Escape to Ushuaia Adventure begins in Punta Arenas, Chile and and ends in Bariloche, 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.
Riders will spend two nights in Ushuaia - the southernmost settlement in the world. More than simply a destination to be recorded in a log book, Ushuaia is a great base for additional two-wheeled excursions.
The stop at "El Fin Del Mundo" will provide time to explore this marvelous part of theworld, 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 cruise the Beagle Channel south of the Straights of Magellan to photograph seals, sea lions, and penguins. There will also be plenty of time to enjoy the town's restaurants and shopping opportunities.
On the return trip, riders will 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.
Proceeding north from Torres del Paine, guests will visit the Perito Moreno Glacier, one of the largest and most impressive glaciers in the world, where huge chunks of ice "calve" and crash into the water regularly.
The trip ends in Bariloche, Argentina, one of the country's most popular resorts in Argentina's Lake and wine district. |
