Santiago and Mendoza Motorcycle Tour
A motorcycle tour through Santiago and Mendoza is the perfect combination of Andean roads, fine food and the best wines in South America. Over 8 days in Fly & Ride format, ROXMOTORS takes you from Santiago to the Elqui Valley and on to the capital of Malbec, crossing the Andes through iconic passes such as Cristo Redentor — Triumph motorcycle included, on a short, premium itinerary with no wasted time.
Andes, wine and roads worth the trip
This route was designed for riders who want something extra on the classic Santiago–Mendoza run: it adds a new pass with a light off-road section and explores the Elqui Valley wine region. The focus is on gastronomy, excellent hotels and special Andean roads — an ideal choice for a first international motorcycle trip.
