Patagonia and Carretera Austral Motorcycle Tour
One of the most iconic crossings on the planet, in its most fluid format: a 14-day motorcycle expedition that begins in the far south, in Punta Arenas, and ends in the Chilean lake district, in Puerto Varas. Through Patagonia and along the legendary Carretera Austral, ROXMOTORS crosses Chile and Argentina in a cinematic progression of landscapes — from windswept steppe to fjords and volcanoes — with a Triumph motorcycle included and premium logistics in one of the most remote regions in the world.
The Carretera Austral at its most authentic
This is an expedition for experienced riders (not recommended for pillion passengers) looking for isolation, technical challenge and landscapes on a monumental scale. The linear route eliminates unnecessary backtracking and rides the Carretera Austral before paving changes its character for good.
Route highlights
- Torres del Paine and the Perito Moreno Glacier — the two icons of Patagonia.
- The “73 malditos” — a legendary gravel stretch, the warm-up for the Carretera.
- Lago General Carrera and the Marble Caves — formations sculpted by water.
- Ruta 40 and Bariloche — a classic finish in the Patagonian Andes.
