Ushuaia lies at the very edge of the map. Known as the southernmost city in the world, it is the last outpost before Antarctica—a harsh and beautiful land where mountains collapse into the sea and weather rules everything. Capital of Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego province, Ushuaia has long attracted explorers, fugitives, sailors, and those drawn to places where civilization thins out.
This is not just a sightseeing journey. This is a ride into remote territory, across borders and mountain ranges, toward the end of the continent. Beyond Ushuaia, there is nothing but ocean, ice, and wind.
Day 1
Arrive in San Carlos de Bariloche

Overnight in Bariloche, overlooking the lake.
Day 2 370 km
San Carlos de Bariloche – Trevelin
After breakfast, we ride out along a stretch of road that traces the cold waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi. The lake drops to depths of more than 500 meters and is bordered by dense native forest—quiet, remote, and unforgiving.
We turn south, cross the Limay River, and leave Bariloche behind. From here on, the landscape opens up. The road cuts past the mountain lakes of Mascardi, Guillermo, and Gutiérrez, with sharp peaks and thick forest closing in on both sides.
We stop at a quaint little restaurant at Villa Lago Rivadavia for lunch which sits beside the beautiful Carrilleufu river. After lunch we ride the remaining 115km through the amazing UNESCO World Heritage National Park, Los Alerce, and then continue on to Trevelín, where we end our day at a lodge situated on a rivers bank.

Day 3 330 km
Trevelin - Puyuhuapi
After breakfast in Trevelín, we ride south and leave the familiar behind. The road leads us toward Futaleufú, where the river of the same name cuts through the landscape with violent force—one of the strongest currents in Patagonia and a magnet for kayakers and rafters from around the world.
From here, the terrain changes again. We push on toward the coast and enter the rainforest, riding deep into Chilean Patagonia. Our destination is Puyuhuapi and its remote hot springs, first opened in 1937 by four German settlers who carved out a life on this isolated bay.
Set on the edge of the fjords in Bahía Dorita del Seno Ventisquero, the Termas de Puyuhuapi are surrounded by dense forest, mountains, and cold southern waters. The thermal pools reach temperatures of up to 60°C—perfect for easing tired muscles after a long day in the saddle.
Overnight in Puyuhuapi, Chile.
Day 4 235 km
Puyuhuapi - Coyhaique
Today we continue south through raw, sparsely populated territory. The route takes us past Puerto Aisén and Puerto Chacabuco before climbing inland toward the Simpson River National Reserve.

Overnight in Lago Posadas
Day 7 260 km
Lago Posadas – Gobernador Gregores
This is real Patagonia. Wide open, stripped bare by wind, endless in every direction. The landscape is silent except for the wind and the distant sound of sheep. Wool is still the backbone of this region; millions of sheep are herded and sheared every year, spread across enormous estancias that disappear into the horizon.
For hours, the road stretches on with almost no signs of life. You may see guanacos moving across the plains, Darwin’s rheas running beside the track, or the occasional armadillo crossing your path. Settlements are few and far between. We pass the isolated outpost of Bajo Caracoles before continuing deeper into the emptiness.
Tonight we stay at Estancia La Angostura, a working Patagonian ranch. This is not luxury. Accommodation is simple, but authentic. You’ll share the space with gauchos and end the day with a traditional asado, cooked slowly over an open fire—the way it’s been done out here for generations.
Overnight at Estancia La Angostura, Argentina.
Day 8 310 km
Gobernador Gregores – El Calafate
Today the road alternates between gravel and pavement as we continue south. We ride past more historic estancias and follow the powerful Santa Cruz River as it drains the waters of Lake Argentino across the steppe.
By afternoon we reach El Calafate, gateway to one of Patagonia’s most powerful natural landmarks: Perito Moreno Glacier. Inside Los Glaciares National Park, the glacier rises nearly 60 meters high and stretches over 5 kilometers wide, slowly pushing into the Brazo Rico arm of Lake Argentino.
If conditions are right, you may hear the sharp crack of ice breaking away from the glacier’s face. Massive blocks collapse into the water below, creating a sudden, thunderous display of ice and waves. Unlike most glaciers on the planet, Perito Moreno is still advancing—a rare and humbling sight.
Overnight in El Calafate, Argentina.
Day 9 150 km
El Calafate – Perito Moreno Glacier – El Calafate
Today is about recovery. After two long days of dust, wind, and gravel, we slow the pace and give both riders and machines a break.
We ride out to Los Glaciares National Park to visit the Perito Moreno Glacier—one of the most powerful natural sights in all of Patagonia. The park is vast and rugged, shaped by ice and time, with a network of trails that allow us to move close to the glacier’s face.
Perito Moreno stretches for more than 5 kilometers and rises nearly 60 meters above the waters of Lake Argentino. The ice is alive here. Without warning, massive chunks break free and crash into the lake below, echoing across the valley like thunder. It’s a reminder of the scale and force of the landscape we’re riding through.
In the afternoon, we return to El Calafate. A proper meal, a warm bed, and time to rest—tomorrow we head back into remote territory.
Overnight in El Calafate, Argentina.
Day 10 390km
El Calafate – Puerto Natales
We leave Calafate early to cross over to Chile again, while watching the Grey glacier spilling off the immense Southern Patagonian Ice Field in Torres del Paine National Park. This National Park is one of the most impressive parks in Chile because of its unique wildlife and dramatic scenery. The park is best known for its steep granite towers (torres), the unique horns (cuernos) and the Big Paine Mountains. The massif is crowned by glaciers and surrounded by cascading rivers and beautiful emerald lakes. The park was designated World Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO in 1978.
After lunch at Torres de Paine, we ride through some breathtaking scenery along Lago del Toro, to the Puente Negro (Black Bridge) over the Serrano River, with a last fabulous view of the Paine Massif
Accommodation in Puerto Natales, Chile.
Day 11 360 km
Puerto Natales - Cerro Sombrero
Our final destination for today is Cerro Sombrero. To get there we cross the Estrecho de Magallanes on a ferry. No other strait in the world has such a dramatic history as the Estrecho de Magallanes. This waterway, which separates the great Terra del Fuego Island with the American continent, is lined by Indian cemeteries, old harbors, abandoned goldmines, old shipwrecks and millions of penguin nests. Ferdinand Magellan changed the world with his discovery of this east - west passage at November 1st of 1520. In Punta Delgada we take the ferry to get over to the Terra del Fuego Island (20 min).
Accommodation at Cerro Sombrero, Chile.
Day 12 450 km
Cerro Sombrero - Ushuaia
Leaving Cerro Sombrero we head off for Ushuaia on a paved road. Near Tolhuin the gravel starts again as we continue along Lake Fagnano and up into the spectacular Darwin Range, and over Garabaldi Pass down to the mystic city, Ushuaia. For most of the first half of the 20th century, the city was centered around a prison for dangerous criminals coming from Buenos Aires. The Argentine government set up this prison following the example of the British with Australia and the French with Devil's Island: escape from a prison on Tierra del Fuego was similarly impossible. The prisoners thus became forced colonists and spent much of their time cutting wood in the forest around the prison and building the town. Today this town with its 64.000 inhabitants is the most southern town of Argentina and calls itself the End of the World.
Accommodation in Ushuaia, Argentina.
Day 13 50 km
Ushuaia - End of the World
This morning we ride to the end of the world! We follow the road right to the end, at Bahía Lapataia in the National Park.
