      The hotels for this trip are beautiful, some bigger than others, but lovely places. Our group sizes are 15 to 20 bikers and the trip has an intermediate difficulty. We do 300km in six days, with an average of 500mts elevation gain. Yes we do have bikes for rental, we have Raleigh 5.5 in S, M and L sizes.

    Asked on December 7th, 2024

    I am a very experienced road and gravel bike cyclist, also competent on moderate technical MTB trails. I plan to link at least 2 of your guided MTB tours, preferably Nov/Dec 2025.

    • MTB ToursOperator•Written December 2024

      From November 7th to 16th we do "From the salt mines to the jungle" bike tour in North Argentina, in Salta and Jujuy provinces. And then from December 6th to 13th 2025 we do "Lakes of PAtagonia" in the South of Argentina. So maybe you could link these tours. There will be some time in between tours that you could use to visit other areas of the country like: -Buenos Aires city -Iguazu falls in Northeast -Usuhaia in the very south of Patagonia and the glaciers near El Chalten and Calafate. There's plenty to see.

    Asked on November 27th, 2024

    What is the difficulty and elevation gain? Are there electric bikes?

    Tour Details
    • MTB ToursOperator•Written November 2024

      The difficulty level is intermediate. The total elevation gain is 3250mts along the six riding days. Right now we can't provide electric bikes in this trip, but maybe we can do it in October 2025.
